Template problem

[gu...@teleco.upv.es]

Hi friends

I have a document which looks more or less like this:

<question id="in1">
<text>Hallo?</text>
</question>

I have create using DOM an element called "in1".What i want to do is as
follows:

<xsl:template match="text">
       <xsl:variable name="reply">
           <xsl:value-of select="../@id"/>   
        </xsl:variable>
        <xsl:variable name="reply1">
             <xsl:value-of select="../$reply"/>   
         </xsl:variable>
</xsl:template>

That is, i want to acces to the value of the element "in1" but not
directly. First getting the name of the element from the attribute "id"
of the element "question" and after use the value of "id" in a patten
for acces to the value of the "in1" element.

I have tried with the code above and whith this:

<xsl:template match="text">
       <xsl:variable name="reply">
           <xsl:value-of select="../{@id}"/>   
        </xsl:variable>
       
</xsl:template>

but both possibilities are wrong. I am using Cocoon 1.6.1.

How can i figure out the problem?

Any help is apreciated. Thanks.

i know this is wishful thinking, but does anyone know of a good xsp
development environment or extension for emacs/textpad/bbedit/??? i long for
syntax highlighting and automatic indentation and bracket matching
(GNU/Xemacs...sigh...). i don't know much about writing one, but if anyone
else is interested, we could work on one...

ah well, one can dream...

i think it works if you change the previous line to-

<xsl:value-of select="../*[name() = $reply]"/>

-or to-

<xsl:value-of select="../*[name() = ../@id]"/>

-(which makes the first variable unnecessary).
