As specified in EXSLT, dyn:evaluate() can return a value of any type
(including of course a boolean). But there may be restrictions in the MSXML
implementation, I don't know.

Subject: [xsl] A variable in the test attribute of <xsl:if> ?
This may well be impossible, but I was wondering if (using
MSXSL) I could somehow use a variable in the test attribute
of <xsl:if> ?
Instead of <xsl:if test="foo = 'bar'">, I would like to have
"foo = 'bar'" in a variable and do this:
<xsl:if test="$test">
Every time I search, I find mentions of the jscript dyn:evaluate
function:
function evaluate(context, expression)
{
return context.nextNode().selectNodes(expression);
}
but that only seems to work in returning a value -- that is,
I can do:
<xsl:value-of select="dyn:evaluate(., <SOME EXPRESSION HERE> )"/>
but I can't do
<xsl:if test="dyn:evaluate(., <SOME EXPRESSION HERE> )">
to return a boolean for whether the node matches.
Is there another function I could use?
