The way this list can help you best is when you supply a sample of the desired
input and show the expected output. So, does this represent your input
document?
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<Contract>
<Estimate>
<itemGroup>
<topSecion>
<Section>
<Item>
<Location></Location>
</Item>
</Section>
</topSecion>
</itemGroup>
</Estimate>
</Contract>

Subject: [xsl] XPath Traversing UP the Hierarchy
Good Afternoon. I am new to Xpath, XSLT and FOP so any help would be
greatly appreciated!!!
I have an xml doc with the following structure:
Contract -> Estimate ->itemGroup -> topSecion ->Section -> Item ->Location
In my XSL-FO I am essentially traversing through all locations that are
under the root contract. For-each of these locations I then want to check
and see if any Item has this location (by comparing a Location element).
My problem is while at the lowest level of Location I need to step up the
hierarchy to the itemGroup level to check only those items. I have tried a
number of variations but can?t seem to get it quite right.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
The inner loop has been my problem and have tried these options already with
no success: 1. <xsl:for-each select="
ancestor-or-self::node()/ancestor-or-self::node()/ancestor-or-self::node()/ancestor-or-self::node()/items">
2. <xsl:for-each
select="ancestor::node()/ancestor::node()/ancestor::node()/ancestor::node()/items">
3. <xsl:for-each
select="parent::node()/parent::node()/parent::node()/parent::node()/items">
<fo:table-body>
<xsl:for-each select="./topSections/sections/items/locations">
<xsl:variable name="locName"><xsl:value-of select="name"
/></xsl:variable>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block text-align="center">
<xsl:value-of select="$locName" />
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<!-- Iterate though all items and see if they have a
location same as outer loop
Display the quantity if it is. -->
<xsl:for-each
select="ancestor::node()/ancestor::node()/ancestor::node()/ancestor-or-self::node()/items">
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block text-align="center">
<xsl:for-each
select="./locations[name=$locName]">
<xsl:value-of select="quantity" />
</xsl:for-each>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</xsl:for-each>
</fo:table-row>
</xsl:for-each>
</fo:table-body>
