hello friends,

i have an xml file like this,

<Msge>
<md>
<itm attr1="abc">abc</itm>
.
.
</md>
<msg>
<thing>abc</thing>
</msg>
<msg>
<thing>def</thing>
</msg>
</Msge>

now i want to write an xsltstatement to compare the value of <thing> node and each value of <itm> node, and then display the attr1 value of the <itm> node.

i tried this condn
<xsl:for-each select="/Msge/md/itm">

<xsl:if test="<xsl:value-of select="/Msge/md/itm">=<xsl:value-of select="/Msge/msg/thing">">

<xsl:value-of select="/Msge/md/item/@attr1"/>

</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>

but i didnt get the ouptut.

how can i solve this problem.

regards
bharath

You only use xsl:value-of when outputting the value, so. But you have one itm and many thing elements. Why are you looping through itm and not thing?
