Bill, I think you want to display certain nodes depending on a parameter from the user. Say, for example, you want to display only DEC machines. To do this pass the 'search string' to your stylesheet (how you do this depends on your setup, but its well documented) and then within you stylesheet you will need something like: <xsl:param name="searchString"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:for-each select="item[manufacturer = $searchString]"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> This will then only apply-templates to the <item>'s with a <manufacturer> of whatever is in your $searchString. is this any good? cheers andrew -----Original Message----- From: William S. [mailto:wstan@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: 19 June 2002 14:58 To: xsl-list Subject: [xsl] <xsl:for-each select="$myvar"> I am trying to do the operation as described in the subject line but am getting "Sablotron Error (48): expression is not a node set". The value of the variable is "item" which is the same as if I used "<xsl:for-each select="item">" So why doesnt this work? What I had hoped to do with this is allow the user to have control what is displayed in an XML file. For instance with the XML file below I would like to display only DEC machines, or only Compaq, or only IBM. XML file sample... <?xml version="1.0" ?> <collection> <intro>My Computer Collection</intro> <item> <manufacturer>DEC</manufacturer> <model>MicroVAX 3100-30</model> <opsys>OpenVMS 5.5-2</opsys> <cpu>25MHz</cpu> <memory>unknown</memory> <enclosure>BA42-B</enclosure> <notes>none</notes> </item> <item> <manufacturer>DEC</manufacturer> <model>MicroVAX II</model> <opsys>OpenVMS 5.5-2</opsys> <cpu>KA630</cpu> <memory>unknown</memory> <enclosure>BA23 rackmount</enclosure> <notes>This is my first VAX which I hope to get running with OSU (=DECthreads)</notes> </item> . . . . and so on... By the way, I am not too sure the XML file is formatted very well. This is just a test setup. Can anyone suggest a better way to do it? I can't seem to see anything in the archives. I am using php with Sablotron and doing this all on the server end.
