RE: [xsl] xpath and variables

If you can use either Xalan or Saxon extension functions, use 'evaluate' to
convert your dynamic XPath expression in runtime. You can see an example for
this in XSLT Cookbook by O'Reilly page 533.

Hope this helps.

Hi All,
 
Help , help.
 
I'm working on a XSL doc 
1) which scans XML-Doc1 to construct an Xpath --
assigns to a variable
2) Gets the data from XML-Doc2 based on the generated
xpath.
 
Now in my XSL I need to use 
 
<xsl:value-of select $var1/$var2 />
 
example:
 
<xsl:variable name="docdataXML"
select="document('foo.xml')/>
<xsl:variable name="path" select="//level1/level2" />
-- Note that this is dynamically created. I've hard
coded for example
 
<xsl:value-of select="$docdataXML/$path"/>
 
$docdataXMl was evaluated to a nodelist. But $path
does not seem to act on it.
 
Any suggestion on how to get this working is
appreciated.
 
Thanks
 
 
Selvi.
