Re: Checking a parent's attribute

Depending on your needs, it may be better suited to use template matching instead of for-each. For instance, the above for-each can be written in separate templates like this (first one is your initial template):

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="ExportEntries[../Restore/ @state='True']" />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="ExportEntries">
   ... do something on ExportEntry level ....
   <xsl:apply-templates select="ExportEntry/Field" />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Field">
    .... do something on field level ....
   ... this is the same as the core of your for-each ...
</xsl:template>

Thanks,
