Hi,

I have a loop of child nodes.  For each one I need to go up the node structure to the parent and grab a value of a datatype, which will apply the appropriate colour to the child element.

The XSLT loops through the children fine, but I can't seem to get the value from the parent.  It's just the syntax of the fourth line that's wrong I think.  I thought this would grab the 'data' of the 'parent' of the current (./) node, but something's not right:

<xsl:variable name="level" select="5"/>
<ul>
    <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/descendant::node [@level=$level]">
       <xsl:variable name="projectColour" select="./parent/data [@alias = 'projectColour']"/>
      <li>
            <xsl:if test="$projectColour != ''">
                <xsl:attribute name="style">
                    <xsl:value-of select="concat('color: #',$projectColour)" />
             </xsl:attribute>
            </xsl:if>
           <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
      </li>
   </xsl:for-each>
</ul>

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks all
