Re: Comparing node for identity using union

Well, just for the record, i solve my problem, by using

<xsl:variable name="snode" select="(//Menu)[position()=$pos]"/>

instead of

<xsl:variable name="snode" select="(//Menu)[$pos]"/>

A million neurones i burn to reach this solution!!!

This seems clearly a bug in XSLTProcessor, does anyone knows where can
i submit this?

Thanks.
