xsl:for-each with special expression

cybernerdsx2

Hi,

I am facing a situation where my XML looks something like below:

<shop>
<group>
<properties>
<property name="something1" value="$50"/>
<property name="something2" value="$10"/>
<property name="something3" value="$15"/>
</properties>
</group>

<group>
<properties>
<property name="something4" value="$25"/>
<property name="something5" value="$1"/>
<property name="something6" value="$4"/>
</properties>
</group>
</shop>

Now, how do I loop through the XML to only pick up value from
"something1" and "something5" in my XSL template so that my HTML will
only display those 2 values?

TIA.

Mike

One way is
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>
<title>Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<xsl:for-each select="shop/group/properties/property[@name =
'something1' or @name = 'something5']">

<p><xsl:value-of select="@name" /> has value
<xsl:value-of select="@value" />
</p>
</xsl:for-each>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>

You simply write an XPath expression selecting a node set and then in
square brackets you can apply a predicate with a boolean expression to
filter that node set further.

One way is

The other way is to stop thinking in procedural terms about loops
unless you need to process the information out of document sequence.

<xsl:template
match="property[@name='something1' or @name='something5']">
<blink>
<xsl:value-of select="@value"/>
</blink>
</xsl:template>
