Thank you, Dr. Kay, > > This can be simplified to: > > <xsl:variable name="vFuns" as="map(xs:string, function(*))" > select="map { > 'move' : f:move#0, > 'stop' : f:stop#0 > } > " > /> > Yes, I know the f:fun#Arity syntax but could never force myself to use it -- still seems rather "unnatural". As for: > <xsl:map> > <xsl:map-entry key="'move'" select="f:move#0"/> > <xsl:map-entry key="'stop'" select="f:stop#0"/> > </xsl:map> this seems of little use as the <xsl:map> instruction has to be enclosed in the body of an <xsl:variable> -- so isn't it better just to define the map in the `select` attribute of the variable declaration? Also, why use the verbose <xsl:map-entry> as compared to the XPath way of writing a map-literal? I know that this can be useful in dynamically creating a map when the number of key-value pairs is determined at runtime -- but this still isn't the case in this question.

For example, if $function-to-invoke holds the string "move" then I want my XSLT program to invoke the function with that name, i.e., invoke f:move(...). Is there a way for XSLT to call a function whose name isn't known till run-time? >> >> /Roger >> > > > XSL-List info and archive > EasyUnsubscribe (by email) > > > XSL-List info and archive > EasyUnsubscribe (by email) -- Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev --------------------------------------- Truly great madness cannot be achieved without significant intelligence. --------------------------------------- To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk ------------------------------------- Never fight an inanimate object ------------------------------------- To avoid situations in which you might make mistakes may be the biggest mistake of all ------------------------------------ Quality means doing it right when no one is looking. ------------------------------------- You've achieved success in your field when you don't know whether what you're doing is work or play ------------------------------------- To achieve the impossible dream, try going to sleep. ------------------------------------- Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. ------------------------------------- Typing monkeys will write all Shakespeare's works in 200yrs.Will they write all patents, too? :) ------------------------------------- Sanity is madness put to good use. ------------------------------------- I finally figured out the only reason to be alive is to enjoy it.
