[xsl] Embedding parameters into XPATH

Subject: [xsl] Embedding parameters into XPATH
From: "Hellstern, Manny" <manny.hellstern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Is it possible to embed a parameter name into an XPATH expression?

XML File:

<LEVEL>
	<DUMP>
		<TEST>
			<VALUE>100</VALUE>
		</TEST>
		<TEST>
			<VALUE>200</VALUE>
		</TEST>
	</DUMP>
</LEVEL>

Example:

if param1 is set to TEST then I want to use something like

	<xsl:apply-templates select="//$param1/VALUE" />

which executes as

	<xsl:apply-templates select="//TEST/VALUE" />

I'm hoping that its simply a syntax issue.

Thanks in advance.
