Is believe this is what you want, no? Function current() returns the current node, which in a predicate is not the same as the context node. <xsl:value-of select="document('inst.xml')//*[boolean(name() = current()/@name)]"/> wes -----Original Message----- From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of S Woodside Sent: Wednesday, February 12, 2003 2:46 PM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [xsl] scoping inside a select statement Why does this DWIM: <xsl:variable name="foobar" select="@name"/> <xsl:value-of select="document('inst.xml')//*[boolean(name() = $foobar)]"/> and this doesn't: <xsl:value-of select="document('inst.xml')//*[boolean(name() = @name)]"/> ... or perhaps I should say, how do I scope @name inside a select to refer to the @name attribute of the context node outside the select, instead of whatever it's referring to here (... an attribute named @name in the context node inside the select?) Also if you're wondering about the unnecessary boolean() I've decided to use it for syntactic safety to protect myself from numeric result s;-) simon --- www.simonwoodside.com <http://ThisURLEnablesEmailToGetThroughOverzealousSpamFilters.org> XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
