Find ancestor attribute of variable

2004-11-30 04:53:05
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)


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.
