Hi frnz,

I have stuck up again in the XML parsing trhough XSL. I have an element like

<p>(a) (1) Unless otherwise specifically provided, the applicable taxable year as follows:
    <colgroup>
        <col width="2001"/>
        <col width="2003"/>
    </colgroup>
</p>

here i want to print the value
(a) (1) Unless otherwise specifically provided, the applicable taxable year as follows:
as well as the vlaues of 2001 and 2003

when i print the
<xsl:value-of select="." />
<xsl:for-each select="colgroup/col>
  <b> <xsl:value-of select="." /> </b>
</xsl:for-each>

It shows the value 2001 and 2003 twice once in bold and once in normal.

Please help me in this how to show the values only once.

Regards,
Vikrant.

Try

I think your question is inaccurate, because there's nothing in your code that displays the @width attribute. Your XML source must have been different to get this effect.

Instead of xsl:value-of, use xsl:apply-templates. The default template rule for text nodes will kick in, and you can override this with a template rule for match="colgroup/col" that displays the values in bold:

<xsl:template match="p">
<p><xsl:apply-templates/></p>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="colgroup/col">
<b><xsl:apply-templates/></b>
</xsl:template>
