I think it drops down to the following: can you select name() of attributes
in
a select attribute in an xsl element?
yes
as for any node
select="name(/foo/bar/@baz)"
will return the name of the selected node ("baz") in thi scase.
<xsl:variable name="Attr" select="$Doc/@*"/> which selects all attributes in
the Doc variable (which are text values as far as I know...?)
No. That selects attribute nodes not text values.
I want to be able to use the name of the attributes in the same way as a
reqular nodeset,
well tough, it's a string not a node set:-)
where I can say node-A=nodeset-B which in a nodeset is true
if just one node in nodeset-B is equal to node-A.
As MK says most days you can do this in XPath 2 but not in Xpath 1
howver you can do it in xslt 1.
If you have two sets of attributes, eg
<xsl:variable name="Attr1" select="$Doc1/@*"/>
<xsl:variable name="Attr2" select="$Doc2/@*"/>
Then you want something like:
<xsl:for-each select="$Attr1">
<xsl:for-each select="$Attr2[name()=name(current())]">
this is in Attr and Attr2: <xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>
