Subject: [xsl] using a string to generate an XPath From: Adam Van Den Hoven <Adam.Hoven@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 10 Aug 2001 13:40:42 -0700 |
hey guys, I'm sure its been mentioned before but.... Are there any plans to add the ability to add the ability specify an xpath via a string? Something along the lines of: <xsl:variable name="somepath">/foo[@bar = 'yes']/dingle/dangle</xsl:variable> <xsl:apply-templates select="path($somepath)" /> It also seems to me that it would be worth while to have an equivilant testing function: <xsl:variable name="somepath">foo[@bar = 'yes']</xsl:variable> <xsl:if test="test(., $somepath)" /> Just some random thoughts.
