Subject: [xsl] Find ancestor attribute of variable
Hello,
Can anybody help out to find the right XPath expression. I need the...
- value of the @type attribute
- of an nearest contentitem node
- which is an ancestor of the $anchor-node variable (=anchor element)
$anchor-node/ancestor::contentitem[1]/@type
Michael Kay

INPUT XML:
1 ...
2 <contentitem type="article"> <-- I NEED THIS
ANCESTORS @type value
3 ...
4 <anchor name="article1"/> <-- I HAVE THIS INSIDE
VARIABLE $anchor-node
5 ...
6 </contentitem>
7 ...
I got errors when I tried:
<xsl:variable name="type" select="ancestor::$anchor-node[name(.) =
'contentitem']/@type"/>
Thank you,
R.
