Subject: Re: [xsl] Function to accept node and name of subnode in
parameter string

Hi all. I need to create a 2.0 function that will accept an

and a xs:string. The string will contain the name of a subnode of the
first parameter.
But it always seems to return just the second string I pass in, not
the
value of the subnode.
... but the above assumes that your $childname contains the same
prefix-qualified name as your input tree. If you only want to check
on the name portion without the prefix, then you will need
local-name(.) instead of name(.).
If you need a complete namespace-safe solution then pass in a third
argument:
<xsl:param name="childns" as="xs:string"/>
... and the following test will work indpendent of any prefix chosen
by the author of the document:
<xsl:when test="$node and $node/*[local-name(.)=$childname and
namespace-uri(.)=$childns] != ''">
<xsl:value-of select="$node/*[local-name(.)=$childname and
Or he could just change the last parameter to be a QName which packages the
name and namespace URI together...
