FYI... again, without seeing the context in which you are processing
'RR_group4' its tough to say if this is applicable, but you could also
use the following method that reduces the use of conditional logic
elements like xsl:if or xsl:choose[when][otherwise] by using the match
attribute of xsl:template to test for a particular value. The following
tests for 3 possible values and outputs the associated text that
matches.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates
select="RR/RR_row/RR_group1/RR_group2/RR_group3/RR_group4"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="RR_group4[ancestor::RR_group2/type = 1]">
type 1
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="RR_group4[ancestor::RR_group2/type = 2]">
type 2
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="RR_group4[ancestor::RR_group2/type = 3]">
type 3
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Hey Neil,
I'm assuming that based on your sample code and the source XML that
you
are interested in the value of RR_group2/type as opposed to
RR_group1/type (which doesn?t exist)? If so, and without seeing the
context in which you are processing RR_group4, heres a sample that
should help get you where you need to go...
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates
select="RR/RR_row/RR_group1/RR_group2/RR_group3/RR_group4"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="RR_group4">
<xsl:if test="ancestor::RR_group2[type = '1']">
hello world
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
This will output "hello world" if the value of
ancestor::RR_group2/type
is equal to 1. I treated 1 as a string by using the single quotes but
this would work just as well without them given that 1 can be treated
as
a string or a number by the processor. You could also use <xsl:if
test="ancestor::RR_group2/type = '1'"> and get the same result. The
difference between these two methods is show when they are used to
process the node and its children (as opposed to test for a value.)
"ancestor::RR_group2/type" puts 'type' into context where as
"ancestor::RR_group2[type]" puts 'RR_group2' into context if it has a
child with a local-name() of 'type'.
Let me know if this helps get you to where you need to be...
Best of luck!
<M:D/>

Here is a part of my XML file that I am parsing to HTML.
Here is my problem, I would like to test the value of
/RR/RR_Row/RR_group1[type=1] while I am parsing the values of the
RR_group4 node (the output is not the same depending on the type).
I tried :
<xsl:if
test="ancestor::RR/RR_row/RR_group1/RR_group2[type=1]">
But that doesn't work (crashes XMLSPY...)
<xsl:if test="/RR/RR_row/RR_group1/RR_group2[type=1]">
Same same...
Could someone please help me as I have been stuck on this for a
couple
of
days now...
Thanks a lot
Best regards,
Neil.
