Hi,
<xsl:variable name="myInfo">
<xsl:copy-of select="/page/myinfo" />
</xsl:variable>
If possible prefer the following:
<xsl:variable name="myInfo" select="/page/myinfo" />
That way the myInfo variable contains a node set and not a document fragment. The upper version will
give an error when evaluating $myInfo/myinfo/@id. This is a limitation of XSLT 1. In XSLT 2 the
document fragment data type does not exist.
If it is not possible to use the select attribute on xsl:variable (perhaps because you want to call
a separate template that gives a node set), you could resort to the node-set function, which is
supported by most implementations of XSLT 1.
You could then use something like:
<xsl:variable name="id" select="exsl:node-set($myInfo)/myinfo/@id" />
(Note: see exslt.org for explanation on the extension functions, their use and availability in
implementations)
Grtz,
Geert
