Re: binding variables to values in XPath

[Richard Cao]

Hi,

Have a look at "xsl:variable" and "xsl:param" in the XSLT [1]
specifications for binding variables.

I'm reading in the XPath language specification that the lexical production
$QName retrieves the value of the QName variable. Yet I cannot find
anything in the XPath specification to declare a new variable and assign a
value to it within an XPath expression. Did I miss something in the
specification or does Xalan define a language extension wich should be
usefull in what I mean to do ?
