Re: Unable to get text() of node

Hi Liron,
  I think you need

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">

<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />

<xsl:template match="/">
   <tree>
     <xsl:for-each select="tree/child/childname">
       <childText>
         <xsl:value-of select="../text()[2]"/>
       </childText>
     </xsl:for-each>
   </tree>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Regards,
Mukul
