Referencing parent element in XSL style sheet

[DaveMc]

My xsl style sheet uses the syntax below to test for the value of the t attribute of the parent <list element:

------------
<xsl:when test=&quot;ancestor::LIST/@T=B'&quot;><xsl:text disable-output-escaping=&quot;yes&quot;>&St;hi&St;</xsl:text></xsl:when> <xsltherwise></xsltherwise></xsl:choose>
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping=&quot;yes&quot;></xsl:text>

<xsl:choose><xsl:when test=&quot;ancestor::LIST/@T='OB'&quot;><xsl:text disable-output-escaping=&quot;yes&quot;><dd> </xsl:text>
</xsl:when> <xsltherwise></xsltherwise> </xsl:choose>
------------

The problem is that my data allows nested lists, and the above syntax checks all ancestors called <list> of a given element, not just the parent.

I need the style sheet to check the t attr of the parent <list> element, and ignore any grandparent (or higher) <list>.

Thank you!

Hello Dave.

Try this code:

...test=&quot;parent::LIST/@T=...&quot;...

I don't run it on MSXML but on Sablotron it works perfectly.
Hope it will relieve.
