I'm trying to get the value of a Data Type drop down that I have used in the property of my page.

I can easily get the text, but I need the value/id as I am using that to pass through to a query string on a search I have.

I've tried several different things and none of the following worked:

<xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/colorGroup//value/@id"/>

And this didn't work:

<xsl:if test="$currentPage/colorGroup !=''">
                                <xsl:value-of select="string(umbraco.library:GetPreValueAsString($currentPage/colorGroup))"/>
                            </xsl:if>

This didn't work either:

<xsl:if test="string-length($currentPage/colorGroup) > 0">  
                                <xsl:variable name="items" select="umbraco.library:Split($currentPage/colorGroup,',')" />  
                                <xsl:for-each select="$items/value">
                                    <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetPreValueAsString(number(current()))"/>
                                </xsl:for-each>
                            </xsl:if>

Can anybody suggest a solution. I'm using Umbraco V4.11
