xsl:for-each not working

Question

I got an XSL variable named filt and it holds data like this

<filters>
   <ritem relateditemnumber="8901037" />
   <ritem relateditemnumber="8901038" />
   <ritem relateditemnumber="8901039" />
   <ritem relateditemnumber="8901040" />
</filters>

and my for-each loop

          <xsl:for-each select="$filt//ritem">
              <textarea>
                  <xsl:value-of select="."/>
              </textarea>
          </xsl:for-each>

I do't know why this is not working every textarea comes as empty.can any one give me a hand in this?

Your desired XSLT is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

  <xsl:param name="filt">
    <filters>
      <ritem relateditemnumber="8901037"/>
      <ritem relateditemnumber="8901038"/>
      <ritem relateditemnumber="8901039"/>
      <ritem relateditemnumber="8901040"/>
    </filters>
  </xsl:param>

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:for-each select="$filt/filters/ritem">
      <textarea>
        <xsl:value-of select="@relateditemnumber"/>
      </textarea>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

to get output:

<textarea>8901037</textarea>
<textarea>8901038</textarea>
<textarea>8901039</textarea>
<textarea>8901040</textarea>
