Hi,
You can just use:
<xsl:apply-templates select="*[name() = $Node_Name]" />
for:
<xsl:apply-templates select="$Node_Name" />
As an example the following stylesheet:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:variable name="test" select="'x'"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="//*[name()=$test]"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="x">Got x!</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
applied on
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<test>
<x></x>
<x><y></y></x>
</test>
will give you
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
Got x!
Got x!
HTH,
George

Subject: [xsl] Evaluating XSLT Expressions At Run-Time
All,
I was wondering if there was a way to evaluate XSLT Expressions at
run-time without resorting to using extensions. Specifically, what I am
trying to do is as follows (this is a simplified version to ease the
explanation). I have 2 XML documents: one that has my real XML data and
a second document that specifies the node names that are identified in
my first document. Depending upon what node name is read from the second
document, I want the string value of that node name to be used in the
line <xsl:apply-templates select="$Node_Name" />, so that a different
template is called depending upon what the string value of $Node_Name
evaluates to. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
<xsl:template match="ElementFromFirstXMLDoc">
<xsl:variable name="Data" select="document('doc2.xml')/Data" />
<xsl:for-each select="$Data/Node">
<xsl:variable name="Node_Name" select="NodeName" />
<xsl:apply-templates select="$Node_Name" />
</xsl:template>
Thanks,
Rechell Schwartz
