RE: Tree Fragment versus Node Set

Perhaps your elements are actually namespaced? Just a thought.

Try <xsl:message><xsl:copy-of select="$myVar"/></xsl:message>

Subject: RE: [xsl] Tree Fragment versus Node Set

Now I have a problem getting values out of my node-set which was
converted from the tree fragment. 

   <xsl:variable name="myVar">
      <xsl:call-template name="buildMyVariableNode">
         <xsl:with-param name="arg1" select="'test1'"/>
         <xsl:with-param name="arg2" select="'test2'"/>
      </xsl:call-template>
   </xsl:variable>

   <xsl:value-of
select="xalan:nodeset($myVar)/result/firstElement/text()"/>

I get nothing back for the value-of tag. My XML snippet that is the
nodeset 
would look something like this:

   <result>
      <firstElement>some value</firstElement>
      <secondtElement>some value</secondElement>
   </result>

I've tried variations on the XPATH expression but nothing is working.
This simply 
ouput of the nodeset works as expected. 

   <xsl:value-of select="$myVar"/>

And also ...

   <xsl:value-of select="xalan:nodeset($myVar)"/>

I know I must be missing something simple but I can't seem to 
see if for the trees.

is there a
better way to do this?

No, in 1.0 there isn't. You sometimes need to create result tree
fragments.
But don't do it when you don't need to.

Subject: [xsl] Tree Fragment versus Node Set

I realize that its always better to form my variables into 
node-sets 
versus tree fragments by using the select attribute 
whenever possible.
But, can one ALWAYS prevent (in XSLT 1.0) making a tree 
fragment? For 
example, if building my variable comes from a template 
call, is there 
a better way to do this?

   <xsl:variable name="myVar">
      <xsl:call-template name="buildMyVariableNode">
         <xsl:with-param name="arg1" select="'test1'"/>
         <xsl:with-param name="arg2" select="'test2'"/>
      </xsl:call-template>
   </xsl:variable>

-Thanks,

Kevin
