Hi Mukul,
Thank you very much for your reply and indeed you're right but I must ask
for an explanation.
I can see why text()[2] would get me the second text node for the <child>
element but I tried to do the following after your reply:
<child>
<childname/>
name
</child>
1) The output was "name" which means that even though <childname> is empty,
its content is still considered as text node (though empty). Is that the
case?
2) How can I get the text of <child> without knowing his descendants?. Just
the absolute text of it ("name" in this case). I thought that child:text()
would do the trick but it didn't.
I'm really trying to understand this but a newbie is a newbie after all...
Thank you
Liron

Hi Liron,
I think you need
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<tree>
<xsl:for-each select="tree/child/childname">
<childText>
<xsl:value-of select="../text()[2]"/>
</childText>
</xsl:for-each>
</tree>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Regards,
Mukul
