[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] RE: Recursive selection, elegantly
 Thanks everyone... noted use of 'variable' to add to my usage as well as
current(), which solves the problem perfectly. Final soln (in effect):
<xsl:template match="menu" mode="main_menu">
<table>
<tr>
<xsl:apply-templates select="//*[@about = current()/item/@resource]"
mode="menu_item" />
</tr>
</table>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*" mode="menu_item">
<td>
<a href="{@about}">
<xsl:value-of select="name" />
</a>
</td>
</xsl:template>

How about this one:
<xsl:template match="/root">
<html>
<head>
<title/>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<xsl:apply-templates select="menu/item"/>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="item">
<xsl:variable name="resource" select="/root/*[@about =
current()/@resource]"/>
<td><a href="{$resource/@about}"><xsl:value-of
select="$resource/name"/></a></td>
</xsl:template>
