Okay, I got that.
Now I am having trouble... I need to select from this external doc the
value
of one of the nodes. So, I'm within the context of another template, and
from this template there is an attribute @Name, who's value will match
one
of the values from the external doc. I'm trying to get the @Text value
from
the external doc where the @Name matches in both. So:
<xsl:for-each select="@*">
<tr>
<td><!-- lookup text for display in xml template -->
<xsl:value-of select="$xmTmplt/[(_at_)name=name()]/text"/>
</td>
... doesn't work : (
As I said previously, you're really not giving us enough to understand your
problem. What does "doesn't work" mean, and what does this mysterious
document look like?
<xsl:value-of select="$xmTmplt/[(_at_)name=name()]/text"/>
This is not a valid XPath expression, because there's no node test in the
second step. Does the FLD element have an attribute called name? If so,
then may be you meant this:
"$xmTmplt[(_at_)name=name()]/text"
And what are you expecting to get back from the call to the name()
function? Is it the attribute name in the outer xsl:for-each instruction?
If so, you need to do something like this:
<xsl:for-each select="@*">
<xsl:variable name="outer" select="current()"/>
<tr>
<td><!-- lookup text for display in xml template -->
<xsl:value-of select="$xmTmplt[(_at_)name=name($outer)]/text"/>
</td>
</xsl:for-each>
