How to select an attribute based on another attribute's value

Question

I need to select the NativeDescription value when Credit_Term_Code=\"4\" by looping in XSLT:

Answer 1

To select the NativeDescription attribute of the Credit_Term_parent element with a Credit_Term_Code equal to 4, use one of the following XPaths:

1. If the ancestral structure above Credit_Term_parent is fixed as shown:

   /Credit_code_parents/Credit_Term_parent[@Credit_Term_Code='4']/@NativeDescription
   

2. If there's potentially variable ancestral structure above Credit_Term_parent (and assuming that the provided Credit_Term_Code is unique across the document):

   //Credit_Term_parent[@Credit_Term_Code='4']/@NativeDescription
   

You ask for XSLT looping code:

<xsl:for-each select="/Credit_code_parents/Credit_Term_parent">
   <xsl:if test="@Credit_Term_Code=4">
     <xsl:value-of select="@Credit_Term_parent"/>
   </xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>

Or, without the loop:

 <xsl:value-of
          select="//Credit_Term_parent[@Credit_Term_Code='4']/@NativeDescription"/>

...or, alternatively, use the XPath from #1 above instead of the one from #2.

Answer 2

try the following

<xsl:for-each select="Credit_code_parents/Credit_Term_parent">
  <xsl:variable name="temp" select="@Credit_Term_Code"/>
  <xsl:if test="$temp='1'">
    <check>
      <xsl:value-of select="@NativeDescription"/>
    </check>
  </xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>

Hope that helps.
