Re: [xsl] get back from nodeset to root ?

[Joerg Heinicke <joerg.heinicke@xxxxxx>]

Do you know why it is so? In your variable $alllanguage (created from a 
RTF via node set function) you store a new document. With for-each 
select="$alllanguage" you switch the context to this new document and 
<xsl:variable name="articelIds" select="/page/article-list/article"/> is 
evaluated in this document context, so it is searched for 
/page/article-list/article and of course nothing is found.
Outside of the for-each the context is still in the original document.
