RE: [xsl] Looping through multiple elements

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the tip - that makes sense.

I tried this; 

<xsl:for-each select="//dc:creatorid | //dc:creator1id | //dc:creator2id
| //dc:creator3id">
    <component group="authors_logins" name="value">
    <xsl:value-of select="."/><xsl:if test="position() != last()">,
</xsl:if>
    </component>
</xsl:for-each>

And the output was just this. 
<component name="value" group="authors_logins">n030, </component>

The metadata has values for dc:creatorid and dc:creator1id so there
should be a value after the comma. 

I also tried this but again the output is the same.

<xsl:for-each select="//dc:creatorid | //dc:creator1id | //dc:creator2id
| //dc:creator3id">
   <component group="authors_logins" name="value">
   <xsl:value-of select="."/>
   <xsl:if test="position() != last()">
   <xsl:text>, </xsl:text>
   </xsl:if>
   </component>
</xsl:for-each>


Perhaps it is something to do with the // before the element name?? I
tried cominations without these (select="//dc:creatorid | dc:creator1id
|) but didn't fix it. Are these paths?

Thanks for your help.

 example, there are also these fields (dc:creator, dc:creator1,  
dc:creator2, dc:creator3). I need to make the xml output for this  
generate the xml below (the names are just examples)

 <component name="value" group="creators">Smith, Jones, Black,  
White</component>

In 1.0 you can do:

<xsl:for-each select="dc:creator | dc:creator1 | dc:creator2 | 
dc:creator3">
 <xsl:value-of select="."/>
 <xsl:if test="position() != last()">, </xsl:if> </xsl:for-each>

In 2.0 it's easier:

string-join((dc:creator, dc:creator1, dc:creator2, dc:creator3), ', ')
