for-each loop in a for-each

bigjo · August 10th, 2012, 07:04 AM

I have an xml doc with somte tags like:

Quote:

<person>
<id>1</id>
<name>bigjo</name>
</person>
<person>
<id>2</id>
<name>user1</name>
</person>

<function>
<idperson>1</idperson>
<description>programmer</description>
</function>
<function>
<idperson>1</idperson>
<description>webdesigner</description>
</function>
<function>
<idperson>2</idperson>
<description>programmer</description>
</function>

now I want to do a for-each on the person and in that for-each make another for-each to take all the function where the id of the first for-each is equal to the idperson.

can someone help me here?

The XML you show isn't a valid XML document as it has no single root element. Assuming a root element called "root" some XSLT might look like this:

Code:

<xsl:for-each select="/root/person">
   <xsl:variable name="id" select="id"/>
   Name = <xsl:value-of select="name"/>
   <xsl:for-each select="/root/function[idperson=$id]"> 
      Job Description = <xsl:value-of select="description"/>
    </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>
