    <p>Let's say I have the following XML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Zoo&gt; &lt;Keepers&gt; &lt;Keeper name="Joe" manager="Miles" /&gt; &lt;Keeper name="Bob" manager="Karen"/&gt; &lt;/Keepers&gt; &lt;Animals&gt; &lt;Animal type="tiger" keeper="Joe"/&gt; &lt;Animal type="lion" keeper="Joe"/&gt; &lt;Animal type="giraffe" keeper="Bob"/&gt; &lt;/Animals&gt; &lt;/Zoo&gt; </code></pre> <p>I basically want to use Keeper.name as a variable and then apply a template to the matching Animal nodes where Keeper.name = Animal.keeper.</p> <p>Is this possible using apply-templates or some other kind of XSL syntax?</p> <p>In my example I want to remove all Keepers managed by Miles and remove all Animal nodes kept by keepers managed by Miles, therefore I would apply blank templates.</p> <p>Here's my sudo XSL which does not quite work:</p> <pre><code>&lt;xsl:template match="@*|node()"&gt; &lt;xsl:copy&gt; &lt;xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/&gt; &lt;/xsl:copy&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="*[@manager='Miles']"&gt; &lt;xsl:apply-templates select="/Zoo/Animals/Animal[@keeper=current()/@name]"/&gt; &lt;!-- apply a blank template to this Keeper --&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="Animal"&gt; &lt;!-- apply a blank template to this Animal --&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; </code></pre> <p>My desired output XML is the following:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Zoo&gt; &lt;Keepers&gt; &lt;Keeper name="Bob" manager="Karen"/&gt; &lt;/Keepers&gt; &lt;Animals&gt; &lt;Animal type="giraffe" keeper="Bob"/&gt; &lt;/Animals&gt; &lt;/Zoo&gt; </code></pre> <p>Thank you!</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.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
