Hi Blaine,
At 02:21 PM 4/15/2004, you wrote:
I am adding features to some existing sets of template functions. One of
these functions (funcA for example) assume a context node .
My new template function (fucB) is fairly generic and takes in a node (say
$cur_node), that it uses since I cannot depend on the context of the call
to the template.
FuncB needs to make a call to FuncA.
Is there anyway to give $cur_node as the context for A?
Is there a function to "assign" context?
Sort of, though not a function, exactly. But if you can't rewrite FuncA to
be context-neutral, you can work around it by switching context ad hoc,
with a for-each (or even an apply-templates with a mode):
<xsl:template name="FuncB">
<xsl:param name="cur-node" select="."/>
... whatever you do ...
<xsl:for-each select="$cur_node">
<xsl:call-template name="FuncA"/>
</xsl:for-each>
... whatever else ...
</xsl:template>
I hope that helps,
Wendell
