Re: finding nodes

2005-01-24 07:01:50


<xsl:variable name="nset">
 <xsl:copy-of select="/campus[(_at_)name = $value]"/>
 </xsl:variable>


as has been said already in thi sthread, don't (ever) do that, which
generates a result tree fragment (and is expensive even in XSLt2 where
it would generate a node set)

do


<xsl:variable name="nset" select="/campus[(_at_)name = $value]"/>

However there will only be one element node below / so thi snode set
will have at most one element in it, depending on whether the top level
element is a campus element with that attribute. Is that really what you
want?


  and then define the template match = "campus". But
  wouldn't
  <xsl:template match="campus"> match other campus nodes as well.

It would match, but unless you apply templates to those other nodes,
they would never be processed.
