Text of current node

[John Ky <ne...@yahoo.com>]

How do I use XSL to access the text of the
current node?

My XML book says I can do this:

<xsl:value-of />

But it doesn't seem to work.  Eg:

   <xsl:for-each select="menu-item">
    <td>
     <a>
      <xsl:attribute name="href">
       javascipt:
       fireEvent(
        '<xsl:value-of select="@widgetID"/>',
        'onclick'
        );
      </xsl:attribute>
      <xsl:value-of />
     </a>
    </td>
   </xsl:for-each>

i guess that must have worked in earlier working drafts of the XSLT
spec; now you need-

<xsl:value-of select="."/>

was easily found. It was a cubbyhole tenanted by an Italian
speaker in a flat tweed cap. He made no sign of remembering
a tall, thin man, somewhat like Le Corbusier. Indeed, it could
have been a resistance to the Modernist movement as a whole that
made him so abusive towards me when I pressed him for information."

That notation makes perfect sense.

Thanks

<xsl:value-of select="."/>

Stefano Mazzocchi      One must still have chaos in oneself to be
                          able to give birth to a dancing star.
