Accessing parent Content Picker value
Im trying to get the value of a text string from a page assigned at parent content picker of the current page.
```
<xsl:variable name="contactNode" select="$currentPage/parent::*[@isDoc]/listingContact" />
          E-Mail<xsl:value-of select ="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById($contactNode)/employeeEmail" />
```
I've tried doing it like so. But it dosnt seem that the variable contains the node.

Hi Martin,

Try dumping out the values, see what's there?
```
<xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/parent::*[@isDoc]/listingContact" />
```
or
```
<xsl:value-of select="$contactNode" />
```
... and then ...
```
<xmp><xsl:copy-of select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById($contactNode)" /></xmp>
```
Cheers, Lee.

ContactNode returns the ID and the GetXmlNodeById posts all the data of the wished node.

Martin,

Can you copy'n'paste your output from the last copy-of statement? From what i'm reading, I think
```
<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById($contactNode)/employeeEmail" />
```
should be enough to get the field

Cheers,

Yeh i would so so too Dirk... But for some reason it dosnt work.
I'm starting to get fustrated :)
Been Googleing and using our.umbraco to find a solution. There must be a human error somewhere.

The code:
```
<xsl:variable name="contactNode" select="$currentPage/parent::*[@isDoc]/listingContact" />
```
Works
```
<xsl:value-of select="$contactNode" />
```
Does write the correct Id
```
<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById($contactNode)/employeeEmail" />
```
Nothing...

```

It returned the Id: 1472

Fixed it... Deleted the "employEmail" and created it again... Guess there was some internal error somewhere.

FYI: recrated the property.

Out of curiousity, what was the property actually called, "employeeEmail" or "employEmail"?
