I am stuck with the following node set expression.
In an external document I want to find the element which name is
'anchor' and which attribute @name has the value
of the variable $anchor.
If I understand you correctkly you just want
<xsl:variable
name="anchor-node"select="$external-doc//anchor[(_at_)name=$anchor]"/>
I in your code fragments you seem to have switched to looking for name
my-anchor rather than anchor.
3 <xsl:variable name="anchor-node" select="$external-doc//node()[name()
= 'my-anchor' and @name = $anchor]" />
that is legal but there is no need to select all nodes withg node() then
filter out those with name my-anchor, you could just do
3 <xsl:variable name="anchor-node" select="$external-doc//my-anchor[(_at_)name
= $anchor]" />
which is more or less as above.
<xsl:variable name="anchor-node" select="$external-doc//node()[name()
= 'my-anchor' and @name = @anchor]" />
or
<xsl:variable name="anchor-node" select="$external-doc//my-anchor[(_at_)name =
@anchor]" />
is also legal but tests the anchor attribute of the my-anchor element in
$external-doc is equal to the name attribute on the smae element.
