The new XPath functionality is great! I have a question regarding its usage
(from the CSS extension):
In certain circumstances, I would like to be able to access an element with
an attribute that has the same value as one of the current element's
attributes. The two attributes have the same name, and neither is an ID
attribute, so I can't use the id() function.
For example:
xpath("//local-config/char-var-d...@name=@name]")
where the second "@name" refers to the current element's name attribute.
In XSL I can do this by declaring a variable "$name" that points to the
current element's name attribute, and then do:
//local-config/char-var-d...@name=$name]
I don't seem to be having much luck so far:
xpath("//local-config/char-var-d...@name=@name]")
and
xpath("//local-config/char-var-d...@name=./@name]")
both return the first //local-config/char-var-def in the document. I also
tried
xpath("//local-config/char-var-d...@name=attr(name)]")
but that returned a syntax error as expected.
Is there a way to do what I want?
