Hi, Tempore 22:18:44, die 07/13/2005 AD, hinc in xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx scripsit Jason Kohls <jasonkohls@xxxxxxxxx>:

I'm using the following partial XPath expression...:

[name()='RED' or name() = 'GREEN' or name() = 'BLUE']

... in several locations in my stylesheet:
<xsl:for-each select="/*/*[1]/*[name()='RED' or name() = 'GREEN' or
name() = 'BLUE']">
<xsl:for-each select="*[name()='RED' or name() = 'GREEN' or name() = 'BLUE']">
Is it possible to store a fragment of an XPath expression in a
variable

no

or is there another method of eliminating redundancy that I'm
not aware of?

rather use "self::RED" instead of "name() = 'GREEN'"

or, another approach, store the strings 'RED' , 'GREEN', etc in a variable or xml fragment and use 'contains(., $possiblevalues)' to test them all at once

regards,
