Please help put a Noob out of his misery

Hello,

This is a stupid Noob question, I have done the training and I have read the manuals, but I'm working from home and left the 12Kg of books in the office, and the PDF's don't seem to contain the answer...

I've got a DCR datum calling in a DCR file, but I can't for the life of me remember how to access the data in the DCR file in my XLT:

My Data node is...

<Data>
<Group ID="horizontalLinks" Name="horizontalLinks" Replicatable="true">
<Datum ID="linkGroup" Name="linkGroup" Type="DCR" Label="Link Group">
<DCR Category="PS04_horizontalLinks" Type="generic"/>
</Datum>
</Group>
</Data>

My DCR XML (when it gets selected) will be...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE PS04_horizontalLinks SYSTEM "http://localhost/iw/pr.dtd">
<PS04_horizontalLinks>
<linkGroup>
<groupTitle>My Horizontal Links</groupTitle>
<linkList>
<label>My First Link</label>
<linkUrl>http://www.aSite.com</linkUrl>
</linkList>
<linkList>
<label>My Second Link</label>
<linkUrl>http://www.anotherSite.com</linkUrl>
</linkList>
</linkGroup>
</PS04_horizontalLinks>

What will the XLT code be to reference the nodes in the XML?

Thanks in advance

OK... This really isn't a good day... Code tags in above don't seem to be doing anything, so second question... How do I post code snippets on this forum?

surround your code in either [html][/html] or [code] tags and always preview before posting Smiley Happy

Thanks - The code tags didn't do it for me, but I'll try html next time. Smiley Surprised

OK - got it... In case anyone else needs it:

The selected DCR is substituted into the Datum node:

So

[html]

[/html]

Obvious when you know how... (bowel squirmingly frustrating when you don't)

XPath used in your example would work but probably not the best way to do it. If you add another Datum before your current Datum that you are referencing then your XPath will probably not behave/act as desired. You may want to qualify your XML nodes (i.e. in this case Datum) with *predicates*.

Example: /Properties/Data/Group[@name='horizontalLinks']/Datum[@name='linkGroup']/DCR/..........
