Re: how to store attribute value?

I have a xml document as:
	<myroot  root_attribute="test_val">
		<a1/>
		<a1/>
	</myroot>
While processing the node "a1" using XSL, i need to access the value of
attribute "root_attribute" of it's parent.

<xsl:template match="a1">
	<xsl:value-of select="../@root_attribute"/>
	<!-- Or the same in nonsimplified syntax -->
	<xsl:value-of select="parent::*/attribute::root_attribute"/>		
</xsl:template>

How can i access the attribute of some node in the template match of another
node?
