Re: [xsl] Problems with for-each

["Kevin Nardi" <kevnardi at hotmail dot com>]

This is how I got around the problem...but is this the best way to do it?  
It seems rather haphazard...

Thanks,
Kevin

<xsl:variable name="id">
  <xsl:value-of select="identifier" />
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:for-each select="//itemList/headerList/header">
  <xsl:if test="name = 'title'">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="//itemList/item/title[../identifier = $id]" 
/>
  </xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
