    <p>I have an xml file which looks like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;section&gt; &lt;title&gt; title of section &lt;/title&gt; &lt;table&gt; &lt;title&gt; title of table&lt;/title&gt; &lt;tableData columns = 2&gt; &lt;column width ="50"/&gt; &lt;column width ="100"/&gt; &lt;tableHead&gt; &lt;row&gt; &lt;entry&gt;column 1&lt;/entry&gt; &lt;/row&gt; &lt;row&gt; &lt;entry&gt;column 2&lt;/entry&gt; &lt;/row&gt; &lt;/tableHead&gt; &lt;tableBody&gt; &lt;row&gt; &lt;entry&gt;text&lt;/entry&gt; &lt;entry&gt;abc&lt;/entry&gt; &lt;/row&gt; &lt;row&gt; &lt;entry&gt;text&lt;/entry&gt; &lt;entry&gt;dbe&lt;/entry&gt; &lt;/row&gt; &lt;row&gt; &lt;entry&gt;text&lt;/entry&gt; &lt;entry&gt;fgh&lt;/entry&gt; &lt;/row&gt; &lt;/tableBody&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/section&gt; </code></pre> <p>I need to process each entry in tableHead/row/entry and spit it out in some format that also includes the columnWidth. So, my output must look like {"name":"column 1", "width":"50px"},{"name":"column 2", "width":"100px"}</p> <p>My transform looks like this</p> <pre><code> &lt;xsl:template match="//table/tableHead/row/entry"&gt; &lt;xsl:text&gt;{"name": "&lt;/xsl:text&gt;&lt;xsl:value-of select"."/&gt; &lt;xsl:text&gt;", "width":"&lt;/xsl:text&gt; &lt;xsl:call-template name="get_column_width"&gt; &lt;xsl:with-param name ="rowNum"&gt; &lt;xsl:value-of sellect"position()"/&gt; &lt;/xsl:with-param&gt; &lt;/xsl:call-template&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;xsl:template name ="get_column_width"&gt; &lt;xsl:param-name="rowNum"&gt; &lt;xsl:value-of select="../../../columnWidth[$rowNum]/@width"/&gt; &lt;xsl:text&gt;px"}&lt;/xsl:text&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; </code></pre> <p>Strangely, this produces {"name":"column 1", "width":"50 100px"},{"name":"column 2", "width":"50 100px"}</p> <p>However, when I output only the rowNum parameter I get exactly what I expect:</p> <p>{"name":"column 1", "width":1px"},{"name":"column 2", "width":"2px"}</p> <p>So, rowNum is 1 and 2 so the select statement will use columnWidth[1] and columnWidth[2], but for whatever reason it just outputs both of them. I tried using columnWidth[1] in the select and it outputs 50 as I would expect. columnWidth[2] outputs 100. I'm really confused here. Using preceding-sibling gave the same result. Is there something wrong with my template matching?</p> <p>Unfortunately changing the xml format is not an option.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
