Sorry if this is trivial...I was wondering which way is best to access elements/attributes. I was playing around with the axis (pardon if the lingo is bogus) way of accessing elements/attributes and found the following ways work but is there an advantage of using one over the other (besides brevity of code). See 1. & 2. below. <xsl:value-of select="./following-sibling::WorkGroupCollection/WorkGroup/@name"/> <xsl:value-of select="./following::WorkGroup/@name"/> <-- I like this one because it is shorter *** xml document *** <WorkGroupMaint> <BusinessUnitRef oid="0:0:0:1" name="BU01"> <-- 1. processor is here <TeamRef oid="0:0:1:1" name="TM01"/> </BusinessUnitRef> <WorkGroupCollection nbrWorkGroup="1"> <WorkGroup oid="0:0:0:2" name="WorkGroup 1"> <-- 2. I need @name <WorkTypeCollection nbrWorkType="2"> ... </WorkGroupMaint> *** xsl template *** <xsl:template match="BusinessUnitRef"> <p id="topLabel"> <span class="info">Team: <xsl:value-of select="TeamRef/@name"/></span><br/> <span class="info">Business Unit: <xsl:value-of select="@name"/></span><br/> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$entryMode = 'Add'"> <span class="info">Work Group Name: </span> <input type="text" name="txtWorkGroupName" class="info" value="" size="30"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <span class="info">Work Group Name: <xsl:value-of select="./following::WorkGroup/@name"/></span> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </p> </xsl:template> Thanks, -Will XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
