Hi,

I have always wondered why I had to code the following construction:

<xsl:variable name="name" select="@name"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="//*[@name=$name]"/>

Is there a xpath predicate expression in which I do not have to code a variable like above.

Hope you will understand the construct.
Kind regards

><xsl:variable name="name" select="@name"/>
><xsl:apply-templates select="//*[@name=$name]"/>

Once you use any of the axis operators (including / and //)
you have changed your context. This is why you need to save
some clue as to your current context in a variable before
the selection.

HI,

But I always find it annoying.
Don't you agree?

Kind regards
