    Equivalent to "recursive" on macros

    Hi there,
    Let's say i have a property on a master template and i wan't to access this property on child templates, i can do that using the recursive parameter, right?

    <umbraco:Item field="SiteLogo" recursive="true" runat="server"></umbraco:Item>

    But how can i get something similar inside a macro? I'm trying to use macro to render a logo, however, this macro can be used on any sub page including different levels, so this won't work:

    <xsl:variable name="logoid" select="data [@alias = 'SiteLogo']"/>

    Is my only option loop through all parent nodes until i get to the master page? Here is my tree:

    TEMPLATES
    - Master Template
     - Home
     - Two Columns
    WEB SITE
    - Content
     - Home Page
       - Page 1

       - Products
         - Product 1
         - Product 2

    Hi CodeMaster2008,

    You can do that by taking the value from the first node in the ancestor-or-self:: axis that has that property; like this:

    <xsl:variable name="logoid" select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node[data[@alias = 'SiteLogo']][1]/data[@alias='SiteLogo']" />

    (Depending on the context, you might not need to include the $currentPage parameter)
