- Reply-to: xsl-list at lists dot mulberrytech dot com
Hello, I have the following problem I need help with. I would like to perform something like a join on two different nodes so that I may get a description field from another node. Following is an example of the XML:
XML:
<response>
<detail @id='1' @parent_key='2' @desc='First Row'/>
<detail @id='2' @parent_key='3' @desc='Second Row'/>
<detail @id='3' @parent_key='' @desc='Third Row'/>
</response>
Problem Statement:
In the xsl, I do a template match on //detail and output each attribute in a table. What is the query to get the @desc attribute by joining the @parent_key attribute to the @id attribute?
Desired Outupt:
ID Name Parent
1 First Row Second Row
2 Second Row Third Row
3 Third Row -
Constraints:
We have to use xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl";, so I cannot use any features of the new standard.
Any help would be deeply appreciated.
John Cooper
