This is the XML file:
horrible sample XML fragment by the way... what's wrong with indenting it?
My requirement is to display the corresponding the role/personname in
the speaker tag. The condition is id and href should match.
<xsl:template match="pbl:roleref>
<xsl:if test="substring-after(@href),#) =
//pbl:castmember/pbl:role/@xml:id">
<xsl:value-of select="//pbl:castmember/pbl:role/personname"/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
Your xpath needs to at least be //pbl:castmember/pbl:role[$id =
@xml:id]/personname
where $id is a variable defined before the select as:
substring-after(@href), '#') (notice the single quotes around the
hash... or "pound" sign if you speak American)
or just use substring-after(current()/@href), '#') directly in the XPath.
Ultimately though this should be rewritten to use a key:
<xsl:key name="role-by-id" match="pbl:role" use="@xml:id"/>
and then just
<xsl:template match="pbl:roleref>
<xsl:value-of select="key('role-by-id', substring-after(@href, '#'))"/>
If the lookup value doesn't exist in the key then nothing is returned.
