Extracting attributes wityh xsl

[newbie404]

Hi.
I am writing some xsl to extract attribute details from an xml file and display them.
My problem is I am not getting the output!

The xsl (a section of it) is -

<xsl:for-each select="Option[@correctanswer='true']">
<div id="filename">
<xsl:value-of select="@id" />
</div>
</xsl:for-each>


The xml (a section of it) is -

<Option correctanswer="true" id="Option15">
</Option>



What I expect is to see the attribut, but I do not. Any idea what could cause this?

try this

<xsl:for-each select="Option[@correctanswer='true']">
<div id="filename">
<xsl:value-of select="Option/@id" />
</div>
</xsl:for-each>

Here is a working example which may help

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<Options>
<Option correctanswer="true" id="Option15"></Option>
<Option correctanswer="false" id="Option16"></Option>
<Option correctanswer="true" id="Option17"></Option>
</Options>

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"[/URL]
                version="1.0">

<xsl:template match="/">
      <xsl:apply-templates select="//Option[@correctanswer='true']"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Option" > 
    <div id="filename">
    <xsl:value-of select="@id" /> 
    </div>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

As you can see, you may not need to use a for loop.

Thanks for the two suggestions, but I still can't get it to work. Totally stumped with this one. Any other suggestions are more than welcome.

thanks

Post the full xml and xsl files. Without more
details I doubt if anyone can help you.

Thanks for all the help - I got it working with

<xsl:value-of select="./@id" />
