Hi if you want to print the text of the element, in the for loop, Then you may have to do <xsl:value-of select = "text()"/> ( to get the text of the node ( excluding the text contained within any child element)

or <xsl:value-of select = "."/> ( to get the text of the node ( including the text contained within any child element)

what you are doing is ../b which is the b element of its parent.. so in your case, when you loop through each b, and when you say <xsl:value-of select = "../b"> what happens is that the processor gets the parent node's all 'b'child elements...and since you are calling <xsl:value-of select> you allways get parent element's first 'b' child element for each b element. this is because value-of gives the string value of the first node in document order of the supplied node set.

hi,

I try to print same named tags one after another. my XML is just like
this:

<a>
  <b at=""></b>
  <b at=""></b>
  <b at=""></b>
</a>

I also have to control attributes of them. If they are valid, I will
print them on screen.

Here is the part of XSL:

<xsl:for-each select="b[@at=$something]">
  <xsl:value-of select="../b"/>
</xsl:for-each>

But this time XSL prints first element all the time repeatedly. What
can be the solution?
