Re: Evaluating XSLT Expressions At Run-Time

Hi,

You can just use:

<xsl:apply-templates select="*[name() = $Node_Name]" />

for:

> <xsl:apply-templates select="$Node_Name" />

As an example the following stylesheet:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
    <xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:variable name="test" select="'x'"/>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="//*[name()=$test]"/>
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="x">Got x!</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

applied on

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<test>
   <x></x>
   <x><y></y></x>
</test>

will give you

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
        Got x!

        Got x!

HTH,
George
