Way out there ColdFusion/XML/XSLT question.

[Ian Skinner]

Does anybody know of a better way to return a single node from an XML document as a complete XML object in ColdFusion based on a certain parameter?  I put together the following code and it works, but it just feels a kludge to me.  It's late in the day and I think I went down a weird path and now I am lost and can not see the forest for the trees.  I did try the xmlSearch() function, but it does not return an XML object and I need the returned node to be a full XML object of its own.

CONTENTFORM.CFM
------
<cffile action="" file="#GetDirectoryFromPath(GetCurrentTemplatePath())#Article.xsl" variable="articleXSLT">
<cfset articleXSLT = replace(articleXSLT,"[[ID]]",form.articleID)>
<cfset newArticle = xmlParse(xmlTransform(newArticle,articleXSLT))>

ARTICLE.XSL
-----
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml"/>

<!--load the articles file -->
<xsl:variable name="currentArticles" select="document('C:\WebSites\Resources\Data\XML\FrontPageArticles.xml')"/>

<!-- return one article -->
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:param name="articleID" select="'[[ID]]'"/>
<articles>
<xsl:copy-of select="$currentArticles/articles/[EMAIL PROTECTED]"/>
</articles>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
