How to get CDATA from xml node using xsl ?

I am trying to get the CDATA content of an XML node using XSL. The node currently looks like this:

<node id="1" text="Book Information" ><![CDATA[This is sample text]]></node>

I need the This is sample text piece. Does anyone have any idea about this?

Thanks in advance.

  • Some other easy steps to achieve this;
    Used W3cschools editor to try out.
    Sample XML File : 

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!-- Edited by XMLSpy® -->
<catalog>
    <cd>
        <disk id="title"><![CDATA[Sample xml]]></disk >
        <disk id="artist"><![CDATA[Vijay]]></disk >
    </cd>
</catalog>


    Sample XSL file : 

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!-- Edited by XMLSpy® -->
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
  <html>
  <body>
    <h2>My CD Collection</h2>
    <table border="1">
      <tr bgcolor="#9acd32">
        <th>Title</th>
        <th>Artist</th>
      </tr>
<xsl:for-each select="catalog/cd">

      <tr>
       <td><xsl:value-of select="/catalog/cd/disk[@id='title']"/></td>
       <td><xsl:value-of select="/catalog/cd/disk[@id='artist']"/></td>
       </tr>
</xsl:for-each>
    </table>
  </body>
  </html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


    Final result is;
    alt text
