Hello, I am trying some (for me) complex constructions, but I don;t get it working. Assume the following XML snippet. <demo> <library> <criteria><status value="active"/></criteria> <books><book title="test"/></books> </library> <library> <criteria><status value="notActive"/></criteria> <books><book title="this may not be visible"/></books> </library> </demo> I want to print all book titles in library with criteria status = "active". I was thinking about something like this: <xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:reporting="http://www.sophis.net/reporting"> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="demo/library/books[preceding::/criteria/status[@value='active']]"> <xsl:for-each select="book"> <xsl:value-of select="./@title"/> </xsl:for-each </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> But I couldn't get it working. What did I wrong? Thanks, Peter
