Hi,

Here is the xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<top>
	<visits>
		<visit id="visit1Name"/>
		<visit id="visit2Name"/>
	</visits>
	<formtypes>
		<formtype id="formtype1Name"/>
		<formtype id="formtype2Name"/>
	</formtypes>
	<forms>
		<form visitID="visit1Name" formtypeID="formtype1Name">form1</form>
		<form visitID="visit1Name" formtypeID="formtype2Name">form2</form>
		<form visitID="visit2Name" formtypeID="formtype3Name">form3</form>
	</forms>
</top>

here is the xsl:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
	<xsl:output method="html"/>
	<xsl:variable name="formtypeID">formtype2Name</xsl:variable>
	<xsl:variable name="visitID">visit1Name</xsl:variable>
	<xsl:template match="/visits/visit">
		<html>
			<body>
				<xsl:variable name="matchingForm" select="//forms/form[(@formtypeID =
$formtypeID) and (@visitID =   $visitID)]"/>
				<xsl:value-of select="$matchingForm"/>
			</body>
		</html>
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

here is the result:

form1 form2 form3

Anyone could explain why is that?

Thanks.

-John
