Subject: Re: [xsl] xsl:element name value with Attribute Value Template at run-time From: Arvind Bassi <arvind_bassi@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2003 09:48:23 +0000 (GMT) |
Sorry, silly mistake on my side. The reason why l want a global variable for an element name is that the stylesheet compares two xml documents, and displays the results in an xml document. A program will read in the xml document, and l would like to ensure that the elements that it will be looking for exist with the same name. Thanks.
