RE: Selecting from a node-set using variable path

Hi Gary.

You can't do this directly, has others already told you. You have to use
some sort of evaluate function.

With MSXML you can do something like:
<msxml:script language="Jscript" implements-prefix="user">
 function find(node,path) {
  return node.selectSingleNode(path);
 }
</msxml:script>

And then:
<xsl:variable name="t2" select="user:find($myNodeSet,$myPath)"/>

Hope that this helps you.
