XSL: how to properly reference to xml field?

Maciej Los

I'm looking for a way to properly set xsl:match="..." or xsl:value-of select="..." My files are: test.xsl

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1250"?>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">

<html>
<head>

</head>
<body>
<h2>SingleRow1</h2>
<table border="1px" bgcolor="yellow">
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="DocumentContent/section['SingleRow1']/row/FieldA"/>
</td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="DocumentContent/section['SingleRow1']/row/FieldB"/>
</td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="DocumentContent/section['SingleRow1']/row/FieldC"/>
</td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="DocumentContent/section['SingleRow1']/row/FieldD"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br/>
<h2>SingleRow2</h2>
<table border="1px" bgcolor="yellow">
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="DocumentContent/section['SingleRow2']/row/FieldA"/>
</td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="DocumentContent/section['SingleRow2']/row/FieldB"/>
</td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="DocumentContent/section['SingleRow2']/row/FieldC"/>
</td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="DocumentContent/section['SingleRow2']/row/FieldD"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<h2>MulitRow1</h2>
<table border="1px" bgcolor="lightgreen">
<xsl:for-each select="DocumentContent/section['MultiRow1']/row">
<tr>
<td><xsl:value

You can't just use the value of an attribute on the node as an indexer into the collection of nodes. You need to specify the attribute name and a comparison operator: DocumentContent/section[@name = 'SingleRow1']/row/FieldA Your current XSL is matching every <section> node, which is why you're getting two blank lines at the start of your <xsl:for-each> block - one for "SingleRow1", and one for "SingleRow2".
