- Reply-to: xsl-list at lists dot mulberrytech dot com
I need to perform a look-up into a string table, based on XML like this:
<root>
<node>
<name-string id="12-23"/>
</node>
<strings>
<string id="12-23"> Blah blah </string>
</strings>
</root>
I can work out a template like this:
<xsl:template match="name-string">
<xsl:variable name="s-id" select="@id"/>
<xsl:value-of select="/root/strings/string[@id=$s-id]"/>
</xsl:template>
This works perfect for me. I couldn't work out a working expression
without the variable "s-id", but I wonder if that variable is really
required?
(I don't really mind too much, it only looks like an unnecessary
detour.)
