Re: Accessing XMl attributes in fop

[Jim Hopp]

Your select attribute in the xsl:value-of should be "." - the for-each 
sets the context to each element node as it iterates the list.

To get the id attribute, you'd use <xsl:value-of select="location/@id"/> 
(above the for-each loop).

A more natural way to do this would be with xsl:apply-templates.
These are basic XSLT questions, not FOP questions - RTFM or ask them on 
the XSLT list: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/index.html

My XML -
<location id="texas">

        <children>tommy</children>
        <children>pam<children>
        <children>sam<children>
   </name>
</location>
I need to do two things 

1. access location.id
2. The number of children can vary so I need to get all the children, when I
use a for-each tag I am not able to access it.
	
<xsl:for-each select = "location/name/children">
		<fo:block text-align="left">
		<xsl:value-of select = "location/name/children"/>
		</fo:block> 
	</xsl:for-each>

Any help ?
