I'm trying to assign a variable a node-set that depends on a parameter
passed into the stylesheet.
<xsl:variable name="initialResult">
<xsl:choose>
If you use xsl:variable with content rather than a select attribute the
result is always a result tree fragment and never a node set.
Most XSLT processors have an xx:node-set() extension function that will
coerce the result tree fragment to a node set (of one node, a / node of
a new tree contating the nodes you have generated) actually in this case
you have used value-of so you have only a single string value so your
node set would have no element nodes just a root node containing a text node
with this string. xsl:value-of when supplied a node set always discards
all but the first node, and returns the string value of the first.
Both brances of your choose selected the same thing but I suppose that's
a cutnpaste error?
however I don't think you want to generate new nodes, just select nodes
in the source, so:
<xsl:variable name="initialResult" select="
/one[$valueSearch='false']/two[three/four[contains(text(),$nodeValue)]]
|
/one[$valueSearch!='false']/two[three/four[contains(text(),$nodeValue)]]
"/>
