Re: Get value outside of for-each Statement

2004-08-19 12:16:42

To start with, I wouldn't write a for-each loop at all. Instead;

<xsl:template match="employees"> <!-- or whatever root you have-->
  <table>
    <xsl:apply-template select="employee_name" />
  </table>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="employee_name" >
  <tr>
    <td><xsl:value-of select="." /></td>
    <td><xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::employee_number" /></td>
  </tr>
</xsl:template>

But the proper answer to your question is about learning the so called 'axis' 
concept and in your particular case the "following-sibling::".

Hi All,

I got a problem with for-each statement. When you are inside a for-each
statement, how do you link the value inside the for-each statement with a
value that is outside of the element being looped through ?

This is the xml:

<employee_name>
</employee_name>
<employee_number>
</employee_number>

<employee_name>
</employee_name>
<employee_number>
</employee_number>

This is the output I want to have:
Employee Name: Test1                  Employee Number: 123
Employee Name: Test2                  Employee Number: 456


<xsl:for-each select="employee_name">
   <tr>
      <td> Employee Name: <xsl:value-of select="employee_name"></td>
      <td>Employee Number: ______________________________ </td>
  </tr>
</xsl:for-each>

Any help would be appreciated
