Problem with XML / XSL

[abenstex]

Hi everyone,

a friend of mine asked me to help him with transforming an xml-file to html using xsl. Now i am facing one problem: The xml file is more or less like this:

<Root>
    <bla>This is a test
         <bla2>asd</bla2>
         <bla3>qwe</bla3>
    </bla>
</Root>

Now, everytime i call <xsl:value of select="bla"> it retrieves not only "This is a test" but also everything that's underneath. Is there a way to get only the content of the bla-element?

 

[jel]

<xsl:template match="*"/>
would prevent any childnodes to be parsed (by default all are parsed)

you could try

<xsl:value-of select="bla/text()"/>

but I'm not sure what you are trying to do exactly or what XSL you already have...

Or set up the XML like this:

<Root>
    <bla>
         <text>This is a test</text>
         <bla2>asd</bla2>
         <bla3>qwe</bla3>
    </bla>
</Root>

Then get the text like this:
<xsl:value-of select="bla/text"/>
