Re: AW: how to "save" a context?

No, if you want to use an unique ID, which will not need the
xx:evaluate() extension function, better use the "coordinate method"

That is, for every node (not an attribute or a namespace), the
following pair identifies it uniquely:

(count(ancestor::node()), count(preceding::node()))

For an attribute node or a namespace node this becomes the tripple:

(name(), count(../ancestor::node()), count(../preceding::node()))



Finding the node from its id has an efficient implementation using
keys.


Hope this helps,

Hello Dimitre,

thanks, now i get the correct value. Is there a way to use it again for
an x-path selection like

<xsl:value-of select="$theResult/test"/> or     <xsl:apply-templates
select="$theResult/test">

I guess not, because now we have in $theResult/test a string, it is
right?

Greetings,

Hans

Hans,

This snippet uses the following xsl:param

  <xsl:variable name="theParmNodes" select="$some-NodeSet"/>

You have to modify the "select" attribute above and to set it to the
node(s) for which you want their XPath expressions produced.
