not able to print out the child nodes

eruditionist · October 29th, 2008, 06:29 PM

<test title="Home" link="4" >
<test title="about us" link="about" />
<test title="history" link="history" />
<test title="info" link="info" >
     <test title="press" link="press" />
     <test title="news" link="news" />
</test>
</test>

        [list]
        <xsl:for-each select="/test[@title='Home']/test">
        <li><xsl:value-of select@title"/></li>
    </xsl:for-each>
    </ul>
currently when I try to print the child node of Home I get about us history and info but I also want to print the child of any of the history, info or about us if it exists. The output of that I am looking for should give me [list]
    <li>about us</li>
    <li>history</li>
    <li>info</li>
    [list]
        <li>press</li>
        <li>news</li>
    </ul>
</ul>

What do I need to add to get this output?

Hi,

This may help u ,there may be some other ways also

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <xsl:template match="/">
        <html>
            [list]
                <xsl:for-each select="/test[@title]/test">
                    <xsl:value-of select="@title"></xsl:value-of>
                    <br />
                    [list]
                        <xsl:for-each select="test[@title]">
                            <li>
                                <xsl:value-of select="@title" />
                            </li>
                        </xsl:for-each>
                    </ul>
                </xsl:for-each>
            </ul>
        </html>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

try this:

<xsl:template match="/">
        [list]
            <xsl:for-each select="./test[@title='Home']/test">
                <li><xsl:value-of select="@title"></xsl:value-of></li>
                <xsl:if test="test">
                [list]
                    <xsl:for-each select="./test">
                        <li><xsl:value-of select="@title"></xsl:value-of></li>
                        </xsl:for-each>
                </ul>
                    </xsl:if>
                    </xsl:for-each>
        </ul>

    </xsl:template>

Use the ancestor axis

<xsl:for-each select="ancestor-or-self::test">
<xsl:sort select="position()" order="descending" data-type="numeric"/>
<xsl:value-of select="@title"/>

>ok im trying ... but nothing is displayed.

Then you've put the code in the wrong place.
