[xsl] xsl:with ?
Subject: [xsl] xsl:with ? From: Jeff Beadle <Jbeadle@xxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 8 Mar 2002 11:46:08 -0500 |
Hello all, I apologize up front for not being upto speed on what going on with xstl 2.0, but I have a question for those who have: Will there be anything like a "with" statement? For example, in javascript I can do this: var x = new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument.3.0"); with(x) { async = false; validateOnParse = false; if( ! loadXML(...) ) { ... } ... } I make common use of this pattern within xslt, but I have to use a for-each. For example: <xsl:variable name="BaseElementInstance"> <BaseElement someAttribute="This is someAttribute" someOtherAttribute="This is someOtherAttribute"> <ChildElement>blah blah</ChildElement> </BaseElement> </xsl:variable> <xsl:for-each select="msxsl:node-set($BaseElementInstance)/BaseElement"> <DerivedElement> <xsl:copy-of select="attribute::*[not(@someOtherAttribute)]"/> <xsl:attribute name="someOtherAttribute"> Derived attribute 'someOtherAttribute' was overridden by DerivedElement. </xsl:attribute> <xsl:copy-of select="descendant::*"/> <DerivedElmentsChildElement/> </DerivedElement> </xsl:for-each> So after too much detail (sorry), here's what I'd like to do: Replace my xsl:for-each with an xsl:with. For example: <xsl:variable name="stuff"> ... </xsl:variable> <xsl:with select="msxsl:node-set($stuff)/BaseElement"> ... </xsl:with> The xsl:with implementation of 'select' would--in fact--be like: select="msxsl:node-set($BaseElementInstance)/BaseElement[1]" If the pattern query succeeds, it always uses the context of the first node in the resultant nodeset. Anyhow, perhaps I'm just being lazy. Thanks, Jeff XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
