ah! i think i figured it out:

i wonder if there is a more nice way though

group/*[local-name() = $field]

i set the field variable to the field attribute
of the column node. is there a more elegant
way though?

hi!

i have a document xml doc like this:

<root>
  <group>
     <apple>bla</apple>
     <orange>bla</orange>
  </group>
  <group>
     <apple>bla</apple>
     <orange>bla</orange>
  </group>

  <order>
    <column name="orange" />
    <column name="apple" />
  </order>
</root>

i would like to do the following: im going though all the column nodes
and would like to access the group nodes where the column attribute name
and the group node name match up.

basically i can just not think of a way to do that in xpath.. anybody
got an tip? how can i say in xpath that it should get the node with
the name in @name and not just access the name attribute of a group
node..

thanks alot!

ciao!
