Hi guys,

New to Umbraco, loving it so far, but I've hit a strange issue.

set up an xslt extension and variable $Individuals to query from a remote business layer

<xsl:variable name="Individuals" select="Elements.Extensions:Query('select * from Individual')"/>

XML returns OK (tuncated for brevity):

<IndividualObjects><IndividualObject><ind_first_name>Aaron</ind_first_name></IndividualObject></IndividualObjects>

I want to select the IndividualObjects. My instinct would be to for-each through $Individuals/IndividualObject, but that doesn't seemt to work. Here's the tests:

  test1<br />
  <xsl:for-each select="$Individuals">
    This came from the $individuals selector:<xsl:value-of select ="name(.)"/>  
  </xsl:for-each>
  test2<br />
  <xsl:for-each select="$Individuals/child::*">
    This came from the child:: selector: <xsl:value-of select ="name(.)"/>
  </xsl:for-each>
  
  test3<br />
  <xsl:for-each select="$Individuals/IndividualObject">
    This came from the $Individuals/IndividualObject selector:<xsl:value-of select ="name(.)"/>  
  </xsl:for-each>
 
  test4<br />
  <xsl:for-each select="$Individuals//IndividualObject">
    This came from the $Individuals//IndividualObject selector:<xsl:value-of select ="name(.)"/>  
  </xsl:for-each>

The output is as follows:

test1
This came from the $individuals selector:IndividualObjects

test2
This came from the child:: selector: IndividualObject

test3
test4

So the xml is coming back correctly, and the nodes are properly parsed. But they're unselectable? I'm baffled. Do you just always use child:: and then compare the element name? I'm using XPathNodeIterator -- should I be using something else?

I must be missing something basic - any input would appreciated.

Thanks, Aaron
