[xsl] Checking a parent's attribute

2007-02-06 21:51:45
G'day all,

I've got some xslt that used to do the following :

<xsl:for-each select="ExportEntries/ExportEntry/Field">

but I realised I need it to be conditional on an attribute of one of the parent nodes, so I ended up splitting it up into 3 lines instead :

<xsl:for-each select="ExportEntries">
        <xsl:if test="../Restore/@state = 'True'">
                <xsl:for-each select="ExportEntry/Field">

This works as I want, but to me it doesn't seem to be the best way. Is there a better way to do that kind of check? I want to restrict it to the "ExportEntries" node first, as there are only a limited number of times that that node will exist, and the "Restore state" node is often there for other things, so I think I'm being more efficient doing it this way. Am I doing this right?

Thanks,
Nick
