Hi,
writing a XSL file I have the problem to get a specific node of the list.
Having a XML file like this:
<persons>
<person name="Bill" job="Developer"/>
<person name="Steve" job="Admin"/>
<person name="Betty" job="CEO"/>
</persons>
A statement like <xsl:value-of select="person"/> won't help because I
have a lot of nodes of the type PERSON.
If I have a node already selected I may use <xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
It's no problem to do it by for each ( <xsl:for-each select="person"> ).
But I look for a way to pick a person out of the list, i.e. "Betty".
Any ideas?
Greetings,
Andreas
