Nodeset within a variable 2003-03-05 - By J=?ISO-8859-1?B?/A==?=rgen Sieben
Hi list,
I encountered a problem where I can¹t find a proper solution:
I¹m using a named template that does certain constant tasks for me.
Now I want to pass a nodeset with some attributes to that template to
perform the task. Problem is that this nodeset is not part of the XML file,
but was created within the XSL-file. Here¹s an example:
<xsl:template name=²foo²>
<xsl:param name=²var²/>
... Some code, var contains a nodeset, so I¹m referring to it like this:
<xsl:for-each select=²$var/val/@(protected)²>
Etc.
At another template, I¹m calling this template like this:
<xsl:call-template name=²foo²>
<xsl:with-param name=²var²>
<val name=²some_value²/>
<val name=²some_other_value²/>
</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
Sounds mean, but no comes the astonishing part: It works... At least with
the XMLSpy built-in processor. What makes this example mean, is that it
doesn¹t work in other processors.
Xalan-J produces an error that says that variable ³var² has to reference a
nodeset. So I feel that my problem is to ³cast² my ³var²-string to an
element.
Am I right with that? And how can I achieve that?
This function saves a lot of code for me...
Thanks for any help,
Jürgen
