Re: how to access the main document from a node-set co

Put <xsl:variable name="root" select="/" /> at the top of your
stylesheet and then refer to the original document with $root/someXpath

Subject: how to access the main document from a node-set context?


Hi, I have run into another problem with my dependency sorting. Basically what I'm doing is take elements from a document and rearrange them into a result tree fragment. Then I run the node-set funtion on them to get a useful new tree in which I can do Xpath access. Now, I have several links in my generated tree that point into the main document, but when I try to follow them (with key or simple xpath search) I can never access that original document because my context is this generated node-set. How can I reach back to the original document?

thanks for the hint,
-Gunther
