XSLT foreach

Hi i have a strange issue with matching specific attribute of xml node. Example code that doesnt work:

<xsl:for-each select="../../unit/service/price/season[@name=$period_name]">
     <xsl:attribute name="std_bed_price">
          <xsl:value-of select="../@amount"/>
     </xsl:attribute>
</xsl:for-each>

Example code that DOES work but i don't like this way too much:

 <xsl:for-each select="../../unit/service/price/season">
     <xsl:if test="@name = $period_name">
          <xsl:attribute name="std_bed_price">
               <xsl:value-of select="../@amount"/>
          </xsl:attribute>
     </xsl:if>
 </xsl:for-each>

If in first example i replace the variable name with some of the values like 'A' it works, i also tested what variable name is selected and it has the correct data inside (so, 'A','B','C' ...)

Anyone had this problem before?

Tnx

You might try changing it to an apply-templates instead of a foreach. Something like the following should work.

<xsl:template match="price">
    <xsl:attribute name="std_bed_price">
        <xsl:value-of select="@amount" />
    </xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>

And then call it like:

<xsl:apply-template select="../../unit/service/price/[season/@name=$period_name]" />

Not seen this before. Could it be an ambiguous @name attribute. Therefore try accessing it like below?

select="../../unit/service/price/season[./@name=$period_name]

Other than that, sorry, to me it looks like it should work perfectly both ways.
