Re: [xsl] Comparing node for identity using union

[António Mota <amsmota@xxxxxxxxx>]

Neverthless, just for the record, please note

       Sarissa.setXslParameter(xslDoc, "pos", pos+"");
       xml.transformNodeToObject(xslDoc, xmlResult);   ----> Works OK

       Sarissa.setXslParameter(xslDoc, "pos", pos);
       xml.transformNodeToObject(xslDoc, xmlResult);   ----> DOES NOT

       processor.setParameter(null, "pos", pos);            
       var xmlResult = processor.transformToDocument(xmlDoc);     
----> Works OK

       processor.setParameter(null, "pos", pos+"");
       var xmlResult = processor.transformToDocument(xmlDoc);     
----> DOES NOT


Works OK = $pos is recognized as a number so (//Menu)[$pos] gives the
Menu as position $pos

DOES NOT =  $pos is NOT recognized as a number so (//Menu)[$pos] gives
ALL the Menu  nodes, as just //Menu does.
