Can I do this ? It doesn't works. I need to check that if one of the countries is an ancestor of the current node that I am in the xml document. So what I am trying is, to run a loop on countries and check if it matches any of the ancestors. I am working in MSXML. Are there any other options avaiable.

<xsl:variable name="countries">
<countries>
<country>Americas</country>
<country>Europe</country>
<country>Asia</country>
<country>Japan</country>
</countries>
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:for-each select="msxsl:node-set($countries)/countries/country ">
<xsl:variable name="x" select="key('items',$navid)/ancestor-or-self::item/title[contains(text() , .)]"></xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="$x" />
</xsl:for-each>

Hi Vishal,
have you tried using current() instead of '.' in the predicate? I think you want to run the contains() on the context set by the for-each, not on the title element....
