How I can get the element name.

[arunmt07]

Hi ALL,

Can anyone suggest me how I can get the element name by knowing its attribute value.

For eg:

<Channel>
<US>
<C100345>
<Article id="345">
<Hello>
</Article>
</C100345>
</US>
</Channel>

Here I know the attribute id=345 so how I can get its element name?
If suppose we don't know the attribute value also but we know after channel the element name is US so in this case how I can get its next sibling element name?

Regards,
Arun.

What language are you using? in javascript:
getElementById("345").nodeName

--
xpath
Channel/US/ something....
What sibling are you referring to, sibling of Channel, US, or Article?

Hi,

I need to get the element name after <C100345>, that is <Article>
Here is mentioned element name as Article it can be magazine and article so i need to know weather its magazine or article which is coming from xml.
I read in one of the post the use of local-name(). How can i do in this?

xpath?

local-name(following::*[1])

[arunmt07]

xpath?

local-name(following:*[1])

Yeah i mean to say xpath.

Using xslt i have to get that element name from xml file.

What expression i need to write?

[jkmyoung]

<xsl:value-of select="local-name(following::*[1])"/>

[arunmt07]

<xsl:value-of select="local-name(following::*[1])"/>

Hi,

I tried but it is not working it seems.

Actually i hav a presentation template which will generate the page in html. This file is of .xml extension.In this template i have given:
<h1>
<time:type />
<h1>

Then there is a xslt file in which i wrote the code for <time:type />. It is like:
<xsl:template match="time:type" mode="base">
<xsl:param name="param.context" tunnel="yes" as="*" />
<xsl:value-of select = "$param.context/name()" />
<xsl:value-of select = "$param.context/local-name()" />
<xsl:value-of select = "$param.context/namespace-uri()" />
</xsl:template>

I even tried local-name(following::*[1]) but both of the expression is not working.
Pl give some suggestion.
Thanks.

Is your template in the xslt, or is it in another xml file altogether?

Trying to figure out how you're linking this thing.

Hai this is javascript code for hove to get the id value


syntax:-

var somename=document.getElimentById("Id Name ").value;



Example :-

var reddy=document.getElimentById("345 ").value;

or

var reddy=document.form1.345.value;
