Re[2]: [xsl] get back from nodeset to root ?

[Heiko Specht <heiko@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Joerg,

thanks for this info. i thought i got it with your first answer. but i
put this info in my brain too.

i think i have a lot more questions later. but i'll try to find out by
searching and reading and training. to get started with xsl and xpath
is sometimes a bit confusing - as long your only programminglanguage
was php and asp until xsl.

thanks again

Heiko
