This is my sample input

<table id="1" style="width=100%">
    <tr>
        <td id="1">
            <table id="2" style="width=50%">
                <tr>
                    <td id="2">
                    </td>
                </tr>
            </table>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>

I am using xslt1.0. when ever the template match ‘td’ is matched, i need to find the corresponding table id value..For example, If the td with id=1 is matched,i want to take style attribute value from table(id=1) and if the td with id=2 is matched,i want to take style attribute value from table(id=2). I have written ancestor::table/@style in my template, but both td are referring the styles of table with id=1.

    I have written
    ancestor::table/@style in my
    template

    You were close. Because there can be more than one table in the ancestor axis, you need to get the first one like in ancestor::table[1]/@style. Of course, if you are absolute sure there is always a chain of table -> tr -> td (not optional tbody) then you could go with @Flack’s answer.
