This should do the job

<xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node//node [@nodeTypeAlias ='CWS_EventsList' and string(data[@alias='sports']) = '1']/node">

Matt

Thanks for the responce Matt.  Here is what i have currently with you addition.  It seems to not display anything.  I checked and i do have some event with the sports checked.  Any other thoughts? 

<ul class="events">
            <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node//node [@nodeTypeAlias ='CWS_EventsList' and string(data[@alias='ListSportsEvent']) = '1']/node">
                                <xsl:sort select="data [@alias = 'eventDate']" order="ascending"/>

                <!-- Position() <= $noOfItems -->
                <xsl:if test="position()&lt;= $noOfItems">
                    <li>
                       <span class="footerboxevents">
                            <em>
                                <!-- Date Format: 15.12.08 -->
                                <xsl:choose>
                                    <xsl:when test="@nodeTypeAlias = 'CWS_EventItem'">
                                        <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:FormatDateTime(data [@alias='eventDate'], 'dd.MM.yy')"/>
                                    </xsl:when>
                                    <xsl:otherwise>
                                        <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:FormatDateTime(@createDate, 'dd.MM.yy')"/>
                                    </xsl:otherwise>
                                </xsl:choose>
                            </em>

<a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">
<br/>
                            <span style="font-size:14px;" class="footerboxevents">
                                <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
                            </span></a>
</span>
                         <hr/>
                    </li>
                </xsl:if>
               
            </xsl:for-each>
        </ul>

Hey Eric,

I'd double check the docTypeAlias and propertyAlias names, as XSLT is case sensitive.

Matt

I checked them and they they are correct.  Im not sure if this is the problem or not.  I have a document type set up for

Events list ('CWS_EventsList) and Event Items (CWS_EventItem).  The event item has the propertyAlias of   (ListSportsEvent).  I think they way i have it is checking the Events list for the propertyAlias. Do i need to reference the Eventitem the check for the propertyAlias?  If so how

Thanks a ton.  That did the trick.  I new at Umbraco and XSLT.  So its going to take some time to learn all the stuff.  Thanks agian for all you help.
