HI ALL. I have the following element:

<child firstname="smith" age="10" dayborn="19"/>

How can I extract the age of the child using XPath?

Much thanks.

If for example you want to select it by firstname:

//child[@firstname='smith']/@age

(Note that this searches all child elements in the document. You might want something more precise than using // at the start)

Hm I tried that but it's still not working.

<xsl:if test="//child[@firstname='smith']/@age &lt; 10">
<xsl:text>User under 10 years of age</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>

It's not showing User under 10 years of age but it is in the xml. Any suggestions?

Well, that's obviously not going to match the element from your original post since that child is 10, which is not less than 10.

A little more context would be nice, such as the entire XML document and style sheet.

Nevermind, I got it using &lt;= '10'. Thank you for your second post though, really helped me out. Big Smile
