hi i have the following problem
have an xml file that looks like
<colleges>
<college id = "1">
<name>A College</name>
</college>
<college id = "2">
<name>B College</name>
</college>
<college id = "1">
<name>C College</name>
</college>
</colleges>
to print the college names,
if i write an XPATH expression like
-----------------------------------------------
<xsl:for-each select="/colleges/college/name">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>.
</xsl:for-each>
-----------------------------------------------
OR
-----------------------------------------------
<xsl:for-each select="//colleges/college/name">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>.
</xsl:for-each>
-----------------------------------------------
OR
-----------------------------------------------
<xsl:for-each select="//college/name">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>.
</xsl:for-each>
-----------------------------------------------
for all the above XPATH expressions in select , i seem to be
getting the names. If so then what is the significant difference
between the three statements??
the above code is in <xsl:template match = "/"> ( from root )
thanks
