RE: accessing attributes from different contexts

2003-01-20 12:52:57
Considering the following xsl code

<xsl:template match="elem[(_at_)attrib]">
  <xsl:variable name="attrib" select="@attrib"/>
  <xsl:value-of select="$otherDoc/otherElem[(_at_)attrib=$attrib]"/>
</xsl:template>

, is there a way to compare the "attrib" attribute of the 
template's context node to the one in the otherDoc xpath 
expression without creating a variable? If the above approach 
the best way to do this?

the alternative is

<xsl:value-of select="$otherDoc/otherElem[(_at_)attrib=current()/@attrib]"/>

but I would hesitate to say that either is better than the other.
