RE: help with select

It would help if you posted the XML you are transforming.

Subject:   help with select

I'm trying to made the following code work: ./footnote|//footnote[@id=./@fnref]

I want to select the child footnote element of author and any footnote that its id attribute matches the fnref attribute of the author.
 
In footnote[@id=./@fnref], is "." referring to author or to footnote? How do you refer author?

Thanks.

Peiyun


<xsl:template match="author">
    <!-- something here -->
	     <xsl:choose>
	     <xsl:when test="count(./footnote|//footnote[@id=./@fnref]) = 1">
	        <xsl:apply-templates select="./footnote|//footnote[@id=./@fnref]"/>
	     </xsl:when>
	 
	     <xsl:when test="count(./footnote|//footnote[@id=./@fnref]) > 1">
	        <xsl:for-each select="./footnote|//footnote[@id=./@fnref]">
	            <xsl:choose>
	               <xsl:when test="position() = last()">
	                  <xsl:apply-templates select="." /> 
	               </xsl:when>
	               <xsl:when test="position() != last()">
	                  <xsl:apply-templates select="." />
