thanks Mike, that definitely makes it tighter. What
about this line?
<xsl:value-of select="../../following-sibling::node()"
/>
Any cleaner way to write that? Seems dirty with the
"../../" and the node() in there. All I want is to
grab the Caption element's contents, which will always
be text.
Well, I haven't looked at your problem in detail, but when I see lots of
"../..", I wonder if the code wouldn't be better written with a
different element as the context node.

You should replace this kind of test:
<xsl:when test="local-name(parent::node())='p'">
with:
<xsl:when test="parent::p">

Subject: Re: [xsl] finding next element after
I got it, but want to make sure that I am not
doing
anything too funky here, as this is my first real
foray into using axises.
<xsl:choose>

<xsl:if
test="local-name(../../following-sibling::node())='Caption'">
<Caption>
<xsl:attribute name="align">

</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of
select="../following-sibling::node()" />
</Caption>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise></xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
Thoughts? Is there an easier/better way to
accomplish
this?

Here is my deal. I am trying to associate a
caption
with an image. The XML I am parsing will always
look
like this:
With a caption and a link:
<p><Link href="http://islswg.hq.nasa.gov/";><img
src="C:\Documents and Settings\nshaw.HQIRMS\My
Documents\genericpics\ISS\transhub.jpg"
height="120.75" width="156.75"/></Link></p>
<Caption>Picture of the ISS TransHAB.</Caption>
OR
With a caption and no link:
<p><img src="C:\Documents and
Settings\nshaw.HQIRMS\My
Documents\genericpics\ISS\transhub.jpg"
height="120.75" width="156.75"/></p>
<Caption>Picture of the ISS TransHAB.</Caption>
OR
With a link and no caption:
<p><Link href="http://islswg.hq.nasa.gov/";><img
src="C:\Documents and Settings\nshaw.HQIRMS\My
Documents\genericpics\ISS\transhub.jpg"
height="120.75" width="156.75"/></Link></p>
OR
With no link or caption:
<p><img src="C:\Documents and
Settings\nshaw.HQIRMS\My
Documents\genericpics\ISS\transhub.jpg"
height="120.75" width="156.75"/></p>
I want my resulting ouput to look like this (of
course
there would not be a Link or Caption element if
those
did not exist in the original XML):
<Media type="image" id="transhub"
file="http://www.nasa.gov/images/aero.gif";
width="157"
height="121" border="" alt="Picture of the ISS
TransHAB." align="left"><Link
url="http://islswg.hq.nasa.gov/";
type="internal"/><Caption align="bottom">Picture
of
the ISS TransHAB.</Caption>
</Media>
This is as close as I have gotten in my XSLT.
Finding
the next following Caption element is tripping
me up
((following-sibling::*[1])[self::Caption])!
<xsl:template match="img">
<Media>
<xsl:attribute name="type">
<xsl:value-of
select="'image'" />
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:variable name="fileName">
<xsl:call-template name="getFileName">
<xsl:with-param name="FilePath"
select="@src" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="imgID"
select="substring-before($fileName,'.')"
/>
<xsl:attribute name="id">
<xsl:value-of select="$imgID" />
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="file">
<xsl:value-of
select="concat('http://www.nasa.gov/images/',$fileName)"
/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="width">
<xsl:value-of

</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="height">
