RE: [xsl] for-each tokenize() and context problem

["Mario Madunic" <Mario_Madunic@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the clarification.

I guess where my confusion came from, is that I assumed that I still had
context because the for-eachs where nested inside a template match statement
and that context would always be there. (Even discounting the fact I was
tokenizing a string.)

No, the result of the tokenize is a sequence of string values and that
way in the for-each select="tokenize(...)" you have a string value as
the context item and you can't do XPath like ancestor on string items
(or any atomic values), you can only do XPath on nodes.
