Get root attribute values question 2

GIMME

If I have

<root>
<a some_attr="AAA"/>
<c/>
<c/>
<c/>
<c><d/></c>
<root>

What expression will fetch the value of AAA when processing
elements c ?

Is there an expression that works for both elements c and d ?
Thanks.

Not in your case -- you must first have a well-formed xml document.

This xml should be better ...

<root>
<a some_attr="AAA"/>
<c/>
<c/>
<c/>
<c><d/></c>
<root>

Is there a way to reference some_attr when processing both c and d
where the expression is the same for both?

Sorry, it's still not a well-formed xml document.

Assuming that using this well-formed XML:

<root>
<a some_attr="AAA"/>

<c/>


<c/>


<c/>


<c>
<d/>
</c>

</root>

this stylesheet/template seems to find the attribute value
and output it to the screen when I look for the "d" element...

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">

<xsl:template match="//d">
<xsl:for-each select="preceding::node()">
<h4><xsl:value-of select="attribute::*"/></h4>
</xsl:for-each>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
