Hi David,
I am very new to XML development, not to mention about XSLT and hesitates to
move to version 2.0 for 3 reasons:
( i ) 1.0 is sufficient for what I need to do but there is bound to be better
ways to do it in 2.0.
( ii ) XPath & XSLT 2.0 comes at a cost for recent release of Saxon licensing
models.
( iii ) Believes that a schema/DTD is required by the stylesheet. Not familiar
with how to set it up yet.
Any how, below is the error I have encountered after having changed the
stylesheet version to 2.0 (line 2):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:ns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
exclude-result-prefixes="ns">
.....
Error on line 83

Back to the original question, what is the XPath statement in XSLT to get the
content of both <a> (team) and <p> (goals) at the sametime?
Below are some more examples I have attempted without success still:
( i ) <xsl:template match="ns:p[ns:strong='World Cup Team:']">
<xsl:for-each select="ns:a/text()[normalize-space() != '']">
<team><xsl:value-of select="concat(
or../ns:a/normalize-space(), normalize-space())"/></team>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
Output
<team>Brasil (30 goals)<team>
<team>Brasil (25 goals)<team>
<team>Brasil (22 goals)<team>
<team>Brasil (15 goals)<team>
( iii ) <xsl:template match="ns:p[ns:strong='World Cup Team:']">
<xsl:for-each select="ns:a/text()[normalize-space() != '']">
<team><xsl:value-of select="concat(ns:a/text()[normalize-space()],
text()[normalize-space()])"/></team>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
or
( iv ) <xsl:template match="ns:p[ns:strong='World Cup Team:']">
<xsl:for-each select="ns:a/text()[normalize-space() != '']">
<team><xsl:copy-of select="concat(ns:a/text()[normalize-space()],
text()[normalize-space()])"/></team>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
Output<team> />
<team> />
<team> />
<team> />
Attempts ( i ) or ( ii ) appears to be closest but the context of <a> (e.g.
Brasil) needs to move to the next node (e.g. <team> Argentina (25 goals)
<team>) and so on.
I am more than happy to accept suggestions on how best to retrieve these data
with either version.
Many thanks again,
Jack
( ii ) <xsl:template match="ns:p[ns:strong='World Cup Team:']">
<xsl:for-each select="ns:a/text()[normalize-space() != '']">
<team><xsl:copy-of select="concat(../ns:a/normalize-space(),
normalize-space())"/></team>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

Hi All,
I am stucked with an XSLT 1.0 XPath issue when trying to reference the
content of either a parent/child nodes at the same time without much luck.
Let's have a look at the XML document I am trying to parse:
The following is not well formed, so hopefully your source doesn't look
like that, it's so far from being well formed i would hesitate to guess
what your input does like, which makes answering the question a bit hard.
<p>
<
<
<strong>World Cup Team:</strong>br clear="none" />a
shape="rect">Brasil</a>(30 goals)<
<br clear="none" />a shape="rect">Argentina</a>(25 goals)<
<br clear="none" />a shape="rect">Germany</a>(22 goals)<
<br clear="none" />a shape="rect">USA</a>(15 goals)<
.......
</p>br clear="none" />
The desire transformation outcome would to produce the following XML document:
<team>Brasil (30 goals)<team>
<team>Argentina (25 goals)<team>
<team>Germany (22 goals)<team>
<team>USA (15 goals)<team>
......
The following stylesheets achieve either of the text() but not both:
<-- Only get the teams but not goals ----->
<xsl:template match="ns:p[ns:strong='World Cup Team:']">
<xsl:for-each select="ns:a/text()[normalize-space() != '']">
<team><xsl:value-of select="normalize-space()"/></team>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
< -- Get all teams and goals for all nodes on the same line continuously.
Similar to printf statement -->
<xsl:template match="ns:p[ns:strong='World Cup Team:']">
<xsl:for-each select="ns:a/text()[normalize-space() != '']">
<team><xsl:value-of select="../../normalize-space()"/></team>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
< --- Only get the goals but not teams --->
<xsl:template match="ns:p[ns:strong='World Cup Team:']">
<xsl:for-each select="text()[normalize-space() != '']">
<team><xsl:value-of select="normalize-space()"/></team>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
I am using JDOM and Saxon 9.1 to carry out the transformation on Windows XP.
If you are using saxon 9, why do you ask for an XSLt 1 solution, since
you are using XSLT 2?
