How do I retrieve a sibling by tag name in XSLT?

Question

I am having an issue with the following, I need the ID to be of each promotiom:

Here is my XML:

 
      
        &         


        

Answer 1

The correct XPath in this situation is:

<asp:LinkButton ID ="{../ID}" onclick="LinkClicked">

Since you are in <Title> context within the <xsl:for-each>, you must go up one level and fetch the <ID> from there. Your try

/Promotions/Promotion[Category=$category]/ID

fetches all <Promotion>s of a certain category and takes the first ID from the bunch, which is the same every time, naturally.

Answer 2

Just change

<asp:LinkButton ID ="{/Promotions/Promotion[Category=$category]/ID}" onclick="LinkClicked">

to

<asp:LinkButton ID ="{../ID}" onclick="LinkClicked">

Answer 3

Try something like position()=1 in your XSLT to select the first occurrence.
