RE: Current Context and document()

Hi Marty:

Try saving the current node to a variable at the top of your template...

<xsl:variable name="curNode" select="."/>

And then refer to it later on...

<xsl:value-of select="$curNode/@name"/>

HTH!

Dion

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>
