Re: Could not select the text() of both parent & child

Hi David,
 
I am very new to XML development, not to mention about XSLT and
hesitates to move to version 2.0 for 3 reasons:
 
( i ) 1.0 is sufficient for
what I need to do but there is bound to be better ways to do it in 2.0.
( ii )
XPath & XSLT 2.0 comes at a cost for recent release of Saxon licensing models.
( iii ) Believes that a schema/DTD is required by the stylesheet. Not familiar
with how to set it up yet.
 
Any how, below is the error I have encountered
after having changed the stylesheet version to 2.0 (line 2):
 
<?xml
version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:ns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
exclude-result-prefixes="ns">
.....
 
Error on line 83

Back to the original
question, what is the XPath statement in XSLT to get the content of both <a>
(team) and <p> (goals) at the sametime?
 
Below are some more examples I have
attempted without success still:
 ( i ) <xsl:template
match="ns:p[ns:strong='World Cup Team:']">
<xsl:for-each
select="ns:a/text()[normalize-space() != '']">
<team><xsl:value-of
select="concat(
or../ns:a/normalize-space(), normalize-space())"/></team>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
Output
<team>Brasil (30 goals)<team>
<team>Brasil (25 goals)<team>
<team>Brasil (22 goals)<team>
<team>Brasil (15
goals)<team>

 
( iii ) <xsl:template match="ns:p[ns:strong='World Cup
Team:']">
<xsl:for-each select="ns:a/text()[normalize-space() != '']">
<team><xsl:value-of select="concat(ns:a/text()[normalize-space()],
text()[normalize-space()])"/></team>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
or 
( iv
) <xsl:template match="ns:p[ns:strong='World Cup Team:']">
<xsl:for-each
select="ns:a/text()[normalize-space() != '']">
<team><xsl:copy-of
select="concat(ns:a/text()[normalize-space()],
text()[normalize-space()])"/></team>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
Output<team> />
<team> />
<team> />
<team> />
 
Attempts ( i ) or ( ii )
appears to be closest but the context of <a> (e.g. Brasil) needs to move to
the next node (e.g. <team> Argentina (25 goals) <team>) and so on.
 
I am more
than happy to accept suggestions on how best to retrieve these data with
either version.
Many thanks again,
Jack

Let's have a look at the XML document I am trying to parse:

The following is
not well formed, so hopefully your source doesn't look 
like that, it's so far
from being well formed i would hesitate to guess 
what your input does like,
which makes answering the question a bit hard.

Similar to printf statement -->

If you are using saxon 9, why do you ask for an XSLt 1 solution, since 
you
are using XSLT 2?
