Subject: Re: [xsl] Can templates be invoked based on the value of a variable? From: "pilgrim cnonline.net" <pilgrim@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2009 11:27:26 -0500 |
Thanks, Michael L. & Lisa, the following worked well: Given: <xsl:variable name="item" select="concat( 'item', $i)"/> both <xsl:apply-templates select="*[ local-name() = $item ]"/> and <xsl:apply-templates select="element()[ local-name() = $item ]"/> worked fine. Anyway, a) I had missed the local-name() method, and name() wasn't doing any good. b) I need more experience with XPath constructs, but at least I'm getting better than I used to be! I wanted to avoid the <xsl:choose/> construct since I have many more than 2 possible "item" definitions to be processed. Doable, but bulky. I have enough similar "item" templates as it is, which have their own data to be processed by (thankfully) a common template. New question: Is there any execution efficiency advantage between using "child::*" or "element()"? Thanks again, Mike
