Re: [xsl] Problem with attributes

Hi Seema,

You get the parent of the current node with 'parent::node()' or use
the shortening for this, '..'.  From there, you need to step down to
the attribute you want, so you need:

  ../@node

With your example, you're looking at:

   <xsl:for-each select="volume">
      <a href="XMLGenServlet1?parent={name(..)},parentnum={../@node}">
         <xsl:value-of select ="title"/><br/>
      </a>
   </xsl:for-each>

(Note I'm using attribute value templates rather than xsl:attribute to
save typing.)

I hope that helps,

Jeni
