Hi,
I don't know what you are trying to do but taking a stab, I would say you
want to set a key:
<xsl:key name="types" match=" xs:simpleType | xs:complexType" use="@name"/>
Forget about the variable try. Simply match the xs:element and get the base
datatype there through the key:
<xsl:template match="xs:element">
<xsl:value-of select="key('types', @type)/xs:restriction/@base"/>
</xsl:template>
Does that do it for you?
Best,
-Rob

Hi,
I'm working with an XML Schema document (.xsd), and I'm having trouble
dealing with the idea of types and references to them. My example xsd
(from w3schools) creates several named types, e.g.
<xs:simpleType name="stringtype">
<xs:restriction base="xs:string"/>
</xs:simpleType>
which are then referenced elsewhere in the document like this:
...
<xs:element name="orderperson" type="stringtype"/>
