Dynamicaly applying templates from a node-set containi

Subject: Dynamicaly applying templates from a node-set containing xpath values - with msxml parser

Hello,

I'm using msxml, which has no evaluate() function. So I use a javascript
extension fonction to it with the namespace
xmlns:dyn="http://exslt.org/dynamic" found at
http://www.xmleverywhere.com/tips/xslt.htm .

Example of use :
im my xml /foo/@bar has the value "hello"
in my xsl i do :
<xsl:variable name="var" select="'/foo/@bar'"/>
<xsl:value-of select="dyn:evaluate(.,$var)"/>
I get "hello" as result.
(I wrote "absolute" xpath in this example so that the context doesn't
matter)

I often use this without problems (as well for applying template) but this
time i have one...

This time the variable to be evaluated is extracted from a node-set variable
in my xsl :

The node-set variable looks like follow :
<xsl:variable name="NodeSetXpathExpressions">
  <xpath>/foo/bar[1]</xpath>
  <xpath>/foo/bar[2]</xpath>
  <xpath>/foo/bar[3]/baz[1]</xpath>
</xsl:variable>

each xapth expression is "abslolute" (starts with /root_element_name)

(this variable is generated in the xsl from the string "/foo/bar[1],
/foo/bar[2], /foo/bar[3]/baz[1]" passed as parameter to the xsl)

And now I want to apply templates for each <xpath> of the
$NodeSetXpathExpressions variable, I wrote :

<xsl:for-each select="msxsl:node-set($NodeSetXpathNode)/xpath">
	<xsl:variable name="xpathValue" select="."/>
	<xsl:apply-templates select="dyn:evaluate(.,$xpathValue)"/>
</xsl:for-each>

I get an error...
I think it is because of the context node, which is the matched <xpath> node
within the for-each element, so I wrote <xsl:apply-templates
select="dyn:evaluate(/,$xpathValue)"/>, hopping the context node would be
the root element of the xml from wich the apply-template make sens, but I
also get the same error.
I also tried :
<xsl:apply-templates select="dyn:evaluate(/foo,$xpathValue)"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="dyn:evaluate(current(),$xpathValue)"/>
with no success...

Has someone any idea ?

Thanks !

Matthieu.
