Hi,
I'm trying to resolve a node attribute which contains an XPATH
fragment to actually resolve that path to a value. Is this possible.
XML with attribute looks like...
<grid-map map="./foo[(_at_)bar]/select" />
XSLT looks like...
<xsl:variable name="path" select="../grid/grid-map[1]/@map"/>
<xsl:value-of select="{$path}" />
the select-attribute is not an AVT and in general, an XPath cannot be
interpreted, it is static. The "normal" way to go about this is to
create a stylesheet that creates a (temporary) second stylesheet with
the xpaths from your source and then apply that new stylesheet. Another
way is to use extension functions (Saxon for one has extensions that
work both in XSLT 1.0 and 2.0 that can do this).
