[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] string parameter to node-set?
I am at a loss, and wonder if anybody can help: I pass two parameter
from Javascript into XSLT, the URI of an XML document and an XPath
expression. Both parameters are strings as far as JavaScript is concerned.
I can load the XML data with document($para-xml) just fine: <xsl:param name="para-xml"/> <xsl:param name="para-xpath" select="'/'"/> <xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="document($para-xml)" mode="transform"/>
</xsl:template>Next, I would like to use the XPath expression to select the node(s) the subsequent transformation should apply to. Something along the lines of this: <xsl:template match="/" mode="transform">
<xsl:apply-templates select="/root/data[@id='whatever']"/>
</xsl:template>That works great, too. However, I find myself unable to using the XPath parameter instead of the constant XPath expression, as in <xsl:template match="/" mode="transform">
<xsl:apply-templates select="$para-xpath"/>
</xsl:template>I suppose this is because the parameter is of type string, and the select attribute requires a node set. How do I solve this? The key problem is that I need to transform a subset of a larger XML stream, where the subset is defined through an XPath expression and all this must happen within XSL in order to avoid cross-domain security constrains in JavaScript. Any recommendations welcome. TIA Bernd XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
