Hello

I am stuck with the following node set expression.
In an external document I want to find the element which name is
'anchor' and which attribute @name has the value
of the variable $anchor.

I tried the following expression:

  ...
1 <xsl:for-each ...>
  ...
2 <xsl:variable name="anchor" select="@anchor"/>
3 <xsl:variable name="anchor-node" select="$external-doc//node()[name()
= 'my-anchor' and @name = $anchor]" />
  ...
4 </xsl:for-each>

--

By the way can remove line 2 and just rewrite line 3 to...?

3 <xsl:variable name="anchor-node" select="$external-doc//node()[name()
= 'my-anchor' and @name = @anchor]" />

Best regards,

Robert
