[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Looking up elements with {@attname}
Hi,
I have some problems XSL... What I want to do is look up an element in a
template-rule when its attribute is the same as an attribute of the
current element. I'll try to give a simplified example:
<element att2="same-value" att3="firstvalue"/>
<element att2="same-value" att3="secondvalue"/>
<xsl:stylesheet>
<xsl:template match="element">
<xsl:value-of select="@att3"/>
<xsl:text> found </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="//element[@att2={./@att2}]/@att3"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I would like as output:
-----------
firstvalue found secondvalue
secondvalue found firstvalue
-----------
If the stylesheet above would be valid, I think I would get the correct
output, but the problem is that the last "xsl:value-of" element isn't
valid. More specifically the part after the "=" sign {./@att2} is
invalid. LotusXSL complaints about that it should stand between quotes,
but when I put it between (single) quotes, LotusXSL will look for an
element with its att2="{./@att2}", with this string "{./@att2}" as the
value for attribute "att2".
I also tried with an xsl:variable element, but then it complaints about
the $varname that should stand between quotes...
Can somebody understand what I'm saying? This topic was perhaps
discussed before, if so, please point me to the URL where I can find
some information... I tried looking for an answer in the archives and
all xml-sites, but couldn't find a thing...
Thanks for your time!
Klaas
