Hi,
Here is the xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<top>
<visits>
<visit id="visit1Name"/>
<visit id="visit2Name"/>
</visits>
<formtypes>
<formtype id="formtype1Name"/>
<formtype id="formtype2Name"/>
</formtypes>
<forms>
<form visitID="visit1Name" formtypeID="formtype1Name">form1</form>
<form visitID="visit1Name" formtypeID="formtype2Name">form2</form>
<form visitID="visit2Name" formtypeID="formtype3Name">form3</form>
</forms>
</top>
here is the xsl:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="html"/>
<xsl:variable name="formtypeID">formtype2Name</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="visitID">visit1Name</xsl:variable>
<xsl:template match="/visits/visit">
<html>
<body>
<xsl:variable name="matchingForm" select="//forms/form[(@formtypeID =
$formtypeID) and (@visitID = $visitID)]"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$matchingForm"/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
here is the result:
form1 form2 form3
Anyone could explain why is that?
Thanks.
