xslt flat to hierarchy
Lars,

I works fine except for the following line:


<xsl:variable name="next-is-child" select=
     "//hierarchy/node[parent = Label and child =
$next/Label]" />

The expression "parent = Label and child =
$next/Label" doesn't work. I have to assign them to
variables first:

 xsl:variable name="valueOfParent" select="Label"/>
 <xsl:variable name="valueOfChild"
select="$next/Label"/>


Is this XPath's problem?


Thanks a lot


Dongling
