One query in xslt

Hi,
Am trying to convert a xml to a html using an xsl.
My xml is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<SOURCE name="store">
    <GROUP hidden="N" name="ReceiptStoreAddress">
        <PARAMETER final="N" hidden="N" name="emailAddress" type="STRING">
            <VALUE value="[email protected]"/>
        </PARAMETER>
    </GROUP>
    <GROUP hidden="N" name="MINOR">
        <PARAMETER final="N" hidden="N" name="MINOR" type="STRING">
            <VALUE value="RG:36000000000000:36999999999999"/>
        </PARAMETER>
    </GROUP>
</SOURCE>

In the above xml, i need to access the group with the name ReceiptStoreAddress, can anyone help me how to access this group alone.When i do this, my xsl should pull out the values for the group with name ReceiptStoreAddress only and not the one with the name MINOR.

Regards,
BP

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the reply.
This is what i tried, but still am not getting a proper output.

<xsl:stylesheet
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="html"/>

<xsl:template match="SOURCE">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="GROUP[@name='ReceiptStoreAddress']"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="GROUP">
    <html>
        <body>
            <h1>
            <xsl:template match="VALUE">
                <xsl:value-of select="@value"/>
            </xsl:template>
            </h1>
        </body>
    </html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

You can't have an xsl:template element inside another template.

Hi, Can i have a xsl:apply-templates inside a xsl:template element?

pasupathy.b · May 30th, 2007, 05:53 PM

Is this a correct usage?
<xsl:template match="VALUE">
    <html>
        <body>
            <h1>
                <xsl:apply-templates select="PARAMETER[@name='companyName']"/>
                <xsl:value-of select="@value"/>
            </h1>
        </body>
    </html>
</xsl:template>
