Subject: [xsl] accessing attributes at different nodes 


Hi there,

I have an accessing question.....my xml file is similar to the following:


<sect1>
        <sect2 attrA = 'a'  />
        <sect2 attrA = '2'  />
        <sect2 attrA = 'ab'  />

        <sect3>
                <sect4>
                        <sect5> Value</sect5>
                        <sect5 attr1='ab' attr2='cd'> Value</sect5>
                                        .................etc..............

I am in a section of XSL code beginning with....

<xsl:template match="sect5">

Within this code I must do....
 If sect5 contains attr1 and attr2 then  
                Create a html attribute        
        for each <sect2> check if attrA=attr1 or attr2
                if so then attrA is the attribute value


<xsl:template match="sect5">
         <xsl:if test="@attr1 and @attr2">
                        <xsl:attribute name="temp">
                                <xsl:for-each select="../../../sect2">
                                        <xsl:if test="@attrA = @attr1 or
@attr2"> ****Problem Here*****
                                                <xsl:value-of
select="@attrA">

My problem is that the <xsl:for-each select="../../../colspec"> is puts
<sect2> as the context node and I am unable to access the attr1 attribute.
Im a newbie so I dont really know how to access this yet....Ive tried
//attr1 and putting in the whole path (and a number of other crazy things).
Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks

Karen
