Piet HeinSubject: Reaching element within same parent (Newbie?)

</xsl:if>
</DATA></COL>

Source XML consists of a lot of the following

<subrecord id="3277">
<element>175</element>
<name>txt_Country</name>
<title>Country</title>
<type>Text</type>
<value>Germany</value>
</subrecord>

Can someone help me getting 'Germany' within <DATA></DATA>, because following::value does not do the trick ?

Thnx

Is the subrecord ID unique? If that's the case you could link them via the ID.

ID is indeed unique, but I do not know them. I only know the value of Name.

Hi Piet,
the context of the XSLT snippet you have is the parent node of subrecord (as you are doing <xsl:if test="subrecord/name='txt_Country'">), so you should write <xsl:value-of select="subrecord/value"/>

Unfortunately /subrecord/value exists multiple times in the source XML, I need the one in the subrecord where name = 'txt_Country'. Your solution only addresses the first /subrecord/value in the source.

Hi Piet,
in this case your entire xsl:if is wrong, as it will always return
'true' if there is at least one subrecord that has a name equal to
'txt_Country'.

You will need to add a loop on subrecord, and remove the 'subrecord'
part from both the xsl:if and xsl:value-of. You will have to decide
where the loop needs to be (before the COL element or before the DATA
element, or even before)

Hope this helps,
Alberto
