Hi,
The idea was to use variables to access a sub-nodeset relative to the
current node at the time of calling (remember, a for-each calling
imported templates). I wanted to declare these variables only once, but
I think now that that is impossible as they get evaluated at the time of
declaration. I'll have to refer you to my source in the other mail...
I think what I can do is to declare the variables within the imported
template and thus get my abbreviation:
<xsl:template>
<xsl:for-each select="baseDboFileReference">
<xsl:call-template name="calledOne" />
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="calledOne">
<xsl:variable name="runOutOfIdeas" select="FileRefEval" />
[siblings]
</xsl:template>
Since templates can get re-evaluated if called in this way, and variable
scope is limited to this template and call, this does work (just
tested). Of course, this means I have to insert the variables
declaration in every template that is called in this way.
Do you see any caveats here?
Thanks for your input!
Ralph
