-----Original Message-----

in my snippet stylesheet, I would like to test the case for attribute value
that is 'German' and get return of 'porsche' as the element name, how do I
approach this problem?

<xsl:if test="//*[@maker = 'German'] ">
  <!-- how would I retrieve element name 'porsche' -->
  <xsl:value-of select=????/>
</xsl:if>


thanks,.
