My apologies for the lack of clarity. I was trying to use the value I have
calcualted for the $targetNode variable to select a node in my XML document.
If I had an xml source like the following, I would like to be able to
'dynamically' select nodes for processing.
<root>
<foo>
<bar />
<bar />
<bar />
</foo>
<dog>
<eatcat />
<eatcat />
<eatcat />
</dog>
</root>
The xslt template to do the processing:
<xsl:template name="createOptionList">
<xsl:param name="parentNode" select="string()" />
<xsl:param name="childNode" select="string()" />
<xsl:variable
name="targetNode"
select="concat(name($listNode),'/',$listItem)" />
<xsl:for-each select="$targetNode" >
... do the processing ....
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
For example if parameters parentNode = "foo" and childNode = "bar", then
$targetNode would evaluate to the string "foo/bar". I would want the 'for-each'
statement to select all the "bar" nodes under the "foo" parent node.
I think the only step I am missing is how to write a xpath node selection query
that can take a string parameter as its argument.
Thanks for your time Tony.
