If you have a variable defined as a node set then you can go $variable//childNode to select descendant nodes. A variable will be defined to have a node set value if it is defined with a select expression rather than using the content of xsl:variable, or especially useful for document nodes, if it is an external parameter and the calling method supplies a node as the value f that parameter. What is different in XSLT2 is not the fact that you can use $variable//foo but that it's easier to generate a node set of nodes that have been constructed, rather than copied from the source. (Except you are not allowed to call them node sets any more, they are sequences in XPath2) David ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star.
