Question

I need to get the value of the ‘test’ attribute in the xsl:when tag, and the ‘name’ attribute in the xsl:call-template tag. This xpath gets me pretty close:

..../xsl:template/xsl:choose/xsl:when 

But that just returns the ‘when’ elements, not the exact attribute values I need.

Here is a snippet of my XML:

<xsl:template match='field'>     <xsl:choose>     <xsl:when test='@name='First Name''>         <xsl:call-template name='handleColumn_1' />      </xsl:when> </xsl:choose>

Steve Cooper answered the first part. For the second part, you can use:

.../xsl:template/xsl:choose/xsl:when[@test='@name='First Name'']/xsl:call-template/@name 

Which will match specifically the xsl:when in your above snippet. If you want it to match generally, then you can use:

.../xsl:template/xsl:choose/xsl:when/xsl:call-template/@name
