RE: Comparing nodes in XPath

2005-01-21 13:00:19
Why is this xpath NOT working

<xsl:value-of 
select="document('connections.xml')/connections/connection[(_at_)id
=Conn]"/>

 and this IS

<xsl:variable name="conn" select="Conn"/>
<xsl:value-of 
select="document('connections.xml')/connections/connection[(_at_)id
=$conn]"/>

Because the context for evaluating a path expression (such as Conn) is
different depending on where it's written. In your furst case, it's looking
for Conn as a child element of connection.
