preceding::text()='1' returns true if there is a text node anywhere in the
document, but before the context node, that is equal to 1. So it's wrong,
and it's also extremely inefficient.
You need select="AdditionalAttribute[AddAttributeDefID='1']/AttribValue"

Subject: [xsl] How to use extract the element value using xpath
Hello,
I am having following elements in the XML.
<AdditionalObjectAttributeList>
<AdditionalAttribute>
<AddAttribDefID>1</AddAttribDefID>
<AttribValue>300pt</AttribValue>
</AdditionalAttribute>
<AdditionalAttribute>
<AddAttribDefID>2</AddAttribDefID>
<AttribValue>400pt</AttribValue>
</AdditionalAttribute>
</AdditionalObjectAttributeList>
Through my XSL. I want to check the <AddAttribDefID>
element. If it is "1" then I need to access
<AttribValue> store it as "Width"
if it is "2" then I need to access the following
<AttribValue> store it as "height"
I tried the following expression.. it is not working..
Any help..
<xsl:variable name="Tiffwidth"
select="./AdditionalObjectAttributeList/AdditionalAttribute/At
tribValue[preceding::text()='1']"/>
<xsl:variable
name="Tiffheight"
select="./AdditionalObjectAttributeList/AdditionalAttribute/At
tribValue[preceding::text()='2']"/>
thanks
regards,
Arul
