xsl:for-each changes the context. If you want to use the original context
within the for-each, you need to first bind it to a variable, for example:
<xsl:variable name="this" select="."/>
<xsl:for-each select="....">
<xsl:apply-templates select="$this/(//*[name()=...])"/>

Subject: [xsl] applying templates out of a for-each
Hi my dear experts
I would appreciate your help with a problem i have.
From a xml file i read the content of an element wich i
interpret in many possible ways for it's a config file for my
stylesheet.
This info i give to a template as a parameter simply called "input".
One way i interpret the value is as an element name wich
content i want to select.
This works fine until i use the following code:
==================================================
<config-input>show_element:Elementname</config-input>
=========================
<xsl:template name="select">
<xsl:param name="input"/>
<xsl:choose>
...
<!-- show element -->
<xsl:when test="contains($input,'show_element:')">
<xsl:apply-templates select="//node()[name() =
substring-after($input,':')]" mode="pure"/>
</xsl:when>
...
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
=========================
but if i want to apply more than one element-content with the
help of a for-each over the readed config-input (wich im
tokenizing to seperate the certain element names) i get this error:
"F[Saxon-B 9.0.0.6]Cannot select a node here: the context
item is an atomic value
URL: http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath20/#ERRXPTY0020";
==================================================
<config-input>show_element:Elementname1
Elementname2</config-input> =========================
<xsl:template name="select">
<xsl:param name="input"/>
<xsl:choose>
...
<!-- show element -->
<xsl:when test="contains($input,'show_element:')">
<xsl:for-each select="tokenize(substring-after($input,':'),' ')">
<xsl:variable name="temp_name" select="string(.)"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="//node()[name() = $temp_name]"
mode="pure"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:when>
...
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
=========================
I understand that Saxon has a problem with applying templates
inside of a for-each-loop wich is all about selecting atomic
values (strings in this case)
* Do I guess right or don't i catch the real cause?
* And how, if possible, do i get it work as intented?
(I'm afraid I've just overseen a simple thing)
Thanks a lot for your help in advance.
have a good time
