Graham ,
<xsl:for-each select="sources/source">
<xsl:value-of select="source" /> (value here)
your for-each iterates through each of the source nodes. and when you say
<xsl:value-of select="source" /> it would mean you are trying to select the
value of "source" element which is the child of the context node ( which is
source). and since you dont have any <source> element under sources/source,
you are not getting any value.
What you need to select is the value of current node,
try instead,
<xsl:for-each select="sources/source">
<xsl:value-of select="." />

Subject: [xsl] element values don't display with value-of
I'm having a problem getting element values to display.
Here is the XML structure:
articles
article
name /name
description /description
bodyblock
summary /summary
analysis /analysis
sources
source /source
source /source
source /source
/sources
/bodyblock
/article
/articles
When a bodyblock node is the current context, I call the
following template to show the sources:
<xsl:template name="list-sources">
<xsl:for-each select="sources/source">
<xsl:value-of select="source" /> (value here)
<br/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template
Since I get the correct number of "(value here)" lines
for each bodyblock in the results, the source elements
are obviously being parsed, but none of the source
values show up. Am I missing something obvious here? I
am doing the same thing for other nodes (article,
bodyblock)and those work fine.
I'm using Forte/JSP for development with SAX as the
parser.
Thanks,
Graham Tillotson
