Hey guys,
I'm currently studying XPATH and i think im getting confused with these topics.
I have my XML document set up, also a XSL style sheet.
eg.
e.g
What i am confused with what is XPATH and what does it do?
And also since in my XSL i have searched for the name of the attribute with AUS but i have two how do i show both of them?
Thanks and my questioning may be confusing but and feedback would be good. Thanks
