RE: Re: xsl:choose and multiple (sibling) elements

You can read this:

<xsl:value-of select="$belegBereich/../textListe/element/inhalt"/>

as

<xsl:value-of
select="$belegBereich/parent::node()/child::textListe/child::element/child::
inhalt"/>

Each step in the path expression selects nodes by navigating from the nodes
selected by the previous step. The expression on the right of "/" is
evaluated once for each node selected by the previous step, with that node
as the context node.

hi,
thx for the quick answers.

mike: your suggestion works perfect! thx a lot. just one last request:
could you please tell me what exactly the xpath-expression after select="
means?

        <xsl:value-of select="$belegBereich/../textListe/element/inhalt"/>

 i understand that $belegBereich gets the previously defined variable. is
it correct, that the variable sets the current node, so that ../ will
bring me up one level to the parent and subsequently over the (sibling)
path /textListe/element/inhalt to the desired value?

cheers
alex
