Subject: RE: [xsl] xslt key used with a predicate of an xpath expression From: "Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 26 Mar 2006 15:08:41 +0100 |
Yes, using current() would solve the first problem but not the second. For the second problem, in XSLT 2.0 you can supply a third argument to key() to indicate the document (or subtree) to be searched. In 1.0 you have to change the context node by doing something like <xsl:for-each select="$otherdoc"> <xsl:value-of sleect="key(....)"/> </xsl:for-each> > -----Original Message----- > From: Tim Lebo [mailto:timleboxslt@xxxxxxxxx] > Sent: 25 March 2006 17:18 > To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: [xsl] xslt key used with a predicate of an xpath > expression > > > "idref" is a relative path expression that means > child::idref.
