> I want to print all book titles in library with criteria status = "active". <xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:reporting="http://www.sophis.net/reporting"> <xsl:template match="demo"> <xsl:apply-templates select="library[criteria/status/@value='active']/books/book"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="book"> : <xsl:value-of select="@title"/> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> > What did I wrong? preceding::/ that would be asking for the preceding / node, which isn't what you meant' you meant /books[preceding::status but ther eis no need to keep goiing back looking everywhere in all earlier nodes, also you would need a [1] otherwise if any earlier status was active you would list the book, but you want to just check the immediately preceding element. select="./@title" ./ at the front of a select never does anything (it doesn't do any harm) similarly <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:template> is the default template so doesn't actually make any difference here.
