 Referencing previous contexts in xpath/Xsl
Hi,

Apologies if this is an obvious question, but I haven't found an answer by
googling.

I'm trying to construct and xpath for a select attribute in Xsl. What I have
is something like this

Select="x[$a/*[name=current()/@b]]"

Which doesn't work as current() is referring to the context item that is the
parent of x, rather than what I want which is to refer to x from within the
second level []s.

Is this possible in xpath?

Yours,

Clint Redwood
