Re: How to select immediate preceding-sibling value

Subject: Re: How to select immediate preceding-sibling value

select preceding sibling
		<xsl:for-each select="child::*">
you can just use select="*" child:: is implied.
			<xsl:if test="name()='PanelName'">

better to use test="self::'PanelName" rather than testing name()
				<xsl:value-of
select="current()/preceding-sibling::Process/@name"/>

you never need to start with current() as relative paths always start
from the current node. In this case you select the name attributes of
all preceding siblings but value-of (in xslt1) gives the string value of
just the first node in document order. If you just want to select the
nearest sibling use
select="preceding-sibling::Process[1]/@name"

But there is no need to for-each over all nodes and then have an xsl:if
test that just picks out the one you want, just for-each over your
PanelName elements:

I think you just want

		<xsl:for-each select="PanelName">
				<xsl:text>current node---	</xsl:text>
				<xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
				<xsl:text>Preceding sibling---</xsl:text>
				<xsl:value-of select="preceding-sibling::Process[1]/@name"/>
				<xsl:text>
				</xsl:text>
		</xsl:for-each>
