Hello

can anyone help me with a simple problem, i think!!

 The problem i have is that i cant access 1 distict record, without
pulling out data from nodes that are NOT required. I am sure it is
something to do with the contextual node?? however cant work it out!!!

Here's the xsl file.

<xsl:template match="clientlog/customer">

    <xsl:value-of select="@customerid[.='bloggs']"/>
    <xsl:value-of select="//logitem/@logid"/>
    <xsl:value-of select="logitem/date"/>
    <xsl:value-of select="logitem/message"/>
    <xsl:value-of select="logitem/contact/@contactname"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

<xsl:template match="/"> <!-- matches the root -->
  <xsl:apply-templates select="//clientlog/customer"/>
  <!-- reaches "into" the tree and selects only the nodes you want -->
</xsl:template>

Good luck,
Wendell
