Hi Otmar
I'm not entirely sure of the format of the html form you want to produce, but I think the issue is that you need to pass a parameter (the article id) to the template which builds the list of countries for that article.
<xsl:apply-templates select="/data/origin-country-enumeration"> <xsl:with-param name="article-id" select="@id"/> </xsl:apply-templates>
See http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#element-with-param
PS this kind of question is better asked on the MulberryTech XSLT list - you'll usually get a quicker (and better) response there.
Couldn't be better, Con :-)

Hi, I have a little problem and I don't know, how to make it. I'll try to show it on the small senseless example :)
This is source XML, that contains data about some pieces of goods and enumeration of countries, we want to attach to the articles in the HTML form:
<data> <goods>
<article id="123">DVD Philips</article>
<article id="456">TV Panasonic</article>
</goods>
<origin-country-enumeration>
<item>
<id>1</id>
<name>Czech Rep.</name>
</item>
<item>
<id>2</id>
<name>USA</name>
</item>
<item>
<id>3</id>
<name>Japan</name>
</item> </origin-country-enumeration>
</data>
Appropriate XSLT:
<xsl:template match="data"> <html><body><xsl:apply-templates select="goods"/></body></html> </xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="goods"> <xsl:apply-templates select="article"/> </xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="article">
<xsl:value-of select="."/> : <xsl:apply-templates select="/data/origin-country-enumeration"/> <br/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/data/origin-country-enumeration"> <select name="country_for_article_id_{/data/goods/article/@id}"> <xsl:apply-templates select="item"/> </select> </xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="item"> <option value="{id}"><xsl:value-of select="name"/></option> </xsl:template>
This template should to show name of article and selectbox with countries of origin of article. Each selectbox should have in name ID of article to tell me (not to me exactly, but to the precessed script :), which country user selected to which article.
Problem is in the line <select name="country_for_article_id_{/data/goods/article/@id}"> ('/data/goods/article/@id' is not absolutly correct, because it returns twice value 123), where I want put IDs of accordant articles.
I'd like to get this code: <html><body> DVD Philips: <select name="country_of_article_id_123"> <option value="1">Czech Rep.</option> <option value="2">USA</option> <option value="3">Japan</option> </select> <br/> TV Panasonic: <select name="country_of_article_id_456"> <option value="1">Czech Rep.</option> <option value="2">USA</option> <option value="3">Japan</option> </select> <br/> </body></html>
Thanx a lot for your help!
