Subject: [xsl] comparing attributes values dynamically From: Adam Foran <aforan@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 5 Jan 2004 10:30:36 -0500 |
Hi, I think I've got hung up a bit on some XSLT syntax that I'm hoping someone here can help me with. I've tried to both Google and FAQ reading, but haven't found anything that's helped. I'm trying to compare two versions of the 'same' node (one pulled out of an old version of my xml file using document()) and want to iterate through and compare all the values of all the attributes. I'd like to avoid having to hard-code in any attribute names. My XSLT code has a template into which I pass the two nodes in $newNode and $oldNode but I'm getting compilation errors. I know the following code is wrong but hopefully it'll be obvious what I'm trying to accomplish with it: <xsl:for-each select="$newNode/@*"> <xsl:if test="string(current()) = $oldNode/@{name()}"> {_______________} {________________} ^ ^ | | the value of the current | attribute | | the value of the attribute in $oldNode with the same name() as current() (ie. the 'same' sttribute in $oldNode) The test expression fails to compile, but I'm having difficulty figuring out how to use the result of name() to specify the attribute to use from the $oldNode. Thanks very much for any help, Adam XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
