Hello,
I'm trying to look for the starting element of nodes in another document, store the results of what I find in an xsl:variable and then use the information in the $results variable (get the values of various attributes in the elements returned, etc.)
I can get a start element into $results but, I can't seem to use $results as a node set. I've tried using the nodeset() extension function but still can't seem to get the values of the attributes from within $results.
Does anyone have any suggestions? (Is there a better way to handle the same situation)?
TIA
PS. I've also noticed that even when there are multiple matches I only ever get the first match in document order. How come?
------------------------------------------------------------ Here's an example of what I'm trying to do:
$file contains:
...
<test1 id="1">
<test2 id="2">
<test3 id="3"/>
</test2>
</test1>
...xsl stylesheet fragment:
...
<xsl:variable name="results">
<xsl:for-each select="document($file)//*[local-name() = $x]">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>
...if $x = "test2"
then, in $results I get:
<test2 id="2"/>Now, I'm trying to get the value of the id attribute.
Here are the things I've tried (but all fail):
<xsl:value-of select="$results/@id"/>
<xsl:value-of select="exslt:node-set($results)/@id"/>
<xsl:value-of select="local-name(exslt:node-set($results))/@id"/>
