When iterating through elements in an external document('foo.xml'), how can i access the current node of the internal DOM? I thought current() would work, but apparently not.
<xsl:template match="form"> <xsl:for-each select="document('foo.xml')/root/item">
<xsl:value-of select="."/> <!-- value of foo.xml/root/item[i] -->
<xsl:value-of select="current()/@name"/> <!-- attribute of the matched form element ?? -->
</xsl:for-each> </xsl:template>
Current() returns the context node from the context outside the XPath expression, in your case the current node from the document('foo.xml')/root/item node set, or the same as ".". You can store the node you want to keep in a variable:
<xsl:template match="form"> <xsl:variable name="current" select="."/> <xsl:for-each select="document('foo.xml')/root/item"> <xsl:value-of select="$current/@name"/> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template>
