RE: How to get the previous node(s)

Hi Srini,

You have to place double quotes around your attribute-values and you need to add a root-element:
<messages>
	<message parentid="0" messageId="1">
		<content>first message</content>
	</message>
	<message parentid="1" messageId="3">
		<content>re : first message</content>
	</message>
	<message parentid="3" messageId="4">
		<content>re : re :first message</content>
	</message>
	<message parentid="0" messageId="2">
		<content>second message</content>
	</message>
	<message parentid="2" messageId="5">
		<content>re : re second message</content>
	</message>
</messages>

Do you want to search for the parent-message, for each messageId?
If yes, maybe this helps you on the way:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
	
	<xsl:output method="html"/>
	
	<xsl:template match="/">
		<xsl:apply-templates/>
	</xsl:template>

	<xsl:template match="message">
		<p>
		current message: <em>ID: <xsl:value-of select="@messageId"/>-<xsl:value-of select="content"/></em>
		<xsl:variable name="parentMessageId"   select="@parentid"/>
		<xsl:variable name="parentMessageNode" select="//messages/*[@messageId=$parentMessageId]"/>
		parent message:  <em>ID: <xsl:value-of select="$parentMessageNode/@messageId"/>-<xsl:value-of select="$parentMessageNode/content"/></em>
		</p>
	</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
