RE: testing parent node with xsl:choose

<li>'s parent is <ul>.  You may want to use ancestor to check grandparents, great grandparents etc.

Subject:  testing parent node with xsl:choose


I want to test whether a particular node has a
particular parent node. For example, in 1.xml I have


<spool>
  <identification> 
    <ul> <li>This Text</li></ul>
  </identification>
</spool>

In 2.xml I have

text text text <ul><li>more text </li></ul> text text
text

The template I wrote:

<xsl:template match="li">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="parent::spool">
<xsl:apply-templates /><br /></xsl:when>

<xsl:otherwise><li><xsl:apply-templates/>
</li>
</xsl:otherwise>

</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

The commands however, produce the same result which
tells me that the condition is not being tested, or
that I am not properly testing the node. How do I fix
it?

Thank you.
