Michael,

"ancestor()" uses an ancient syntax long forgotten in the Annals of XSLT.

Try the axis specifier "ancestor::", as in:

<xsl:template match="inside[ancestor::*/@myprop='123']">
  ...
</xsl:template>

And update your reference materials!

Cheers,
Wendell

If I have something like this:

<outside myprop='123'>
  <mid>
    <inside>456</inside>
  </mid>
</outside>


How would I write my match for my <xsl:template> for the <inside> node so that that template would only match if outside's myprop was equal to '123' (and another template might match only '234' for example. I want there to be any number of nested levels between the <outside> and <inside> tags. I tried using ancestor() but I must have messed something up because it said ancestor didn't exist.
