ADO, XML accessing a parent node's row context from a child node attributes???

[TC]

Hi All

Extract of style sheet, I do not seem to understand how to refernce a parent
node when I processing the
inner <xsl:for-each select='@*'>, I want to fill the HREf with the orderID
that is in the <xsl:for-each select='z:row'>
outer loop I thought that preceeding a filter with ".." allow access to the
parent node values eg.
<xsl:value-of select="..['@OrderID']" /> would return in the current row
context the value of the orderid
associated with the "OrderNUmber"

<xsl:template match="xml/rs:data">
<xsl:for-each select='z:row'>
<tr>

<xsl:for-each select='@*'>
<td nowrap="nowrap" class='Cell'>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test=".[nodeName()='OrderNumber']">
<a>
<xsl:attribute name="HREF">Order.asp?OrderID=<xsl:value-of
select="..['@OrderID']" />
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of match='.'/>
</a>

</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>

</td>
</xsl:for-each>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

Extract of xml ado data looks like

<rs:data>
<z:row OrderNumber='71826' OrderID='71826' ...bunch of other fields />

</rs:data>
</xml>

Figured this out about 2 sec's after i hit the send
<xsl:value-of select="../@OrderID" />
or of course you can go <xsl:value-of select="context(-2)/@OrderID" />
