RE: [xsl] Re: Defining a Variable that depends on an unknown number of conditions

OK.  I'm trying to determine if element_x or element_y 
contain the value value_m or value_n.
I believe I'm close, but can't figure out what to replace 
____________ with.
I tried current()/../@on and ./../@on but no luck.

Thanks.  Below is a quick mock-up of files.

I have xml_a.xml as so:
<xml_a>
  <depends>
    <depend on="element_x" equals="value_m|value_n"/>
    <depend on="element_y" equals="value_m|value_n"/>
  </depends>
</xml_a>

and xml_b.xml:
<xml_b>
  <element_x>value_m</element_x>
  <element_y>value_p</element_y>
</xml_b>

finally transform.xsl, that opens xml_b.xml and transforms xml_a.xml.
<xsl:variable name="xml_b" select="document('xml_b.xml')/xml_b"/>
<xml:template select="xml_a">
  <xsl:variable name="my_test" select =
"depends/depend/@equals[contains(.,$xml_b/*[name()=__________])]"/>
</xml:template>

I don't think you can do this join in a single XPath 1.0 expression. It
either needs XPath 2.0, or some kind of xsl:for-each logic if you really
must do it in XSLT 1.0.
