Sorry if this is trivial...I was wondering which way is best to access
elements/attributes. I was playing around with the axis (pardon if the lingo
is bogus) way of accessing elements/attributes and found the following ways
work but is there an advantage of using one over the other (besides brevity
of code). See 1. & 2. below.
<xsl:value-of
select="./following-sibling::WorkGroupCollection/WorkGroup/@name"/>
<xsl:value-of select="./following::WorkGroup/@name"/> <-- I like this one
because it is shorter
*** xml document ***
<WorkGroupMaint>
<BusinessUnitRef oid="0:0:0:1" name="BU01"> <-- 1. processor is here
<TeamRef oid="0:0:1:1" name="TM01"/>
</BusinessUnitRef>
<WorkGroupCollection nbrWorkGroup="1">
<WorkGroup oid="0:0:0:2" name="WorkGroup 1"> <-- 2. I need @name
<WorkTypeCollection nbrWorkType="2">
...
</WorkGroupMaint>
*** xsl template ***
<xsl:template match="BusinessUnitRef">
<p id="topLabel">
<span class="info">Team: <xsl:value-of
select="TeamRef/@name"/></span><br/>
<span class="info">Business Unit: <xsl:value-of
select="@name"/></span><br/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$entryMode = 'Add'">
<span class="info">Work Group Name: </span>
<input type="text" name="txtWorkGroupName" class="info"
value="" size="30"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<span class="info">Work Group Name: <xsl:value-of
select="./following::WorkGroup/@name"/></span>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</p>
</xsl:template>
Thanks,
