Re: Data-driven Display of records with variable numbe

<xsl:for-each select="$records">
  <xsl:variable name="thisrecord" select=".">
  <xsl:for-each select="/headers/*">
    <xsl:apply-templates
      select="$thisrecord/*[local-name()=local-name(current())]"/>
  </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>

Cheers,

Is this possible in xslt-1.0?

Given the following input, I want to transform the output such that I get
only the fields of each record which I specify in the headers element. I
want the order to also be the order in which they appear in the headers
element.  So if headers looks like:
<headers>
<year/> <artist/>
</headers>
then I want each record in the output to only contain the year and artist
fields, in that order.

I can't seem to write an xPath expression for this kind of transform because
xPath node tests cannot contain variables. The expression would need to look
something like "/cds/cd/$field", where $field would contain the name of one
of the nodes listen in /headers (see xml below).

Thanx for any suggestions...
