[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] RE: Weird XSLT processor output
 Saxon also produces the output you consider weird, which is actually the
correct output.
When you write:
<xsl:for-each select="$globalTableNames">
<xsl:element name="TABLE">
<xsl:attribute name="tableid"><xsl:value-of
select="."/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:variable name="tablename"><xsl:value-of
select="."/></xsl:variable>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="/DGS/BOOKMARKS/TABLEID[BMTABLE = $tablename]"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>
the absolute path expression /DGS/... selects relative to the root node
of the document containing the context node. The context node is an
element in $globalTableNames, which came from document('')/..., that is,
from the stylesheet. The stylesheet does not have a /DGS element as the
outermost element, so this expression selects nothing and the
apply-templates produces no output.
To select from the root of the principal source document, declare a
global variable
<xsl:variable name="root" select="/">
and use
<xsl:apply-templates select="$root/DGS/BOOKMARKS/TABLEID[BMTABLE =
$tablename]"/>
