breaking out of an xsl:for-each statement after the first one

[wrbodine]

Hi,

In an XSL page, how would I go about getting only for the first set of values, when using <xsl:for-each> tags? Maybe I need to use another tag besides xsl:for-each?

like, in the following code:
<xsl:element name=&quot;input&quot;>
<xsl:attribute name=&quot;type&quot;>text</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name=&quot;name&quot;>SearchValue</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:for-each select=&quot;../SearchParams/Search&quot;>
<xsl:attribute name=&quot;value&quot;><xsl:value-of select=&quot;@SearchValue&quot;/></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:element>

I only want to get the first value that's in @SearchValue, which would be 'Smith', in the first <Search> tag from XML like the following:
<SearchParams>
<Search SearchValue = 'Smith' SearchField = 'LastName' />
<Search SearchValue = 'Mike' SearchField = 'FirstName' />
</SearchParams>

Thanks,
Ray

Why do you want to use for-each for-that?


why not go directly for the value with value-of select?

<xsl:attribute name=&quot;value&quot;><xsl:value-of select=&quot;../SearchParams/Search@SearchValue&quot;/></xsl:attribute>

Thanks Nosferatu!

That works great, exactly what I needed.... For anyone else checking it out, it needs a / before the attribute:

<xsl:attribute name=&quot;value&quot;><xsl:value-of select=&quot;../SearchParams/Search/@SearchValue&quot;/></xsl:attribute>

I'm still getting double values at some point, but am able to take care of this elsewhere in code.
