I am at a loss, and wonder if anybody can help: I pass two parameter from Javascript into XSLT, the URI of an XML document and an XPath expression. Both parameters are strings as far as JavaScript is concerned.
I can load the XML data with document($para-xml) just fine:
Next, I would like to use the XPath expression to select the node(s) the subsequent transformation should apply to. Something along the lines of this:
That works great, too. However, I find myself unable to using the XPath parameter instead of the constant XPath expression, as in
I suppose this is because the parameter is of type string, and the select attribute requires a node set. How do I solve this?
The key problem is that I need to transform a subset of a larger XML stream, where the subset is defined through an XPath expression and all this must happen within XSL in order to avoid cross-domain security constrains in JavaScript. Any recommendations welcome.

[xsl] string parameter to node-set?

I can load the XML data with document($para-xml) just fine:
<xsl:param name="para-xml"/> <xsl:param name="para-xpath" select="'/'"/>
<xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:apply-templates select="document($para-xml)" mode="transform"/> </xsl:template>
Next, I would like to use the XPath expression to select the node(s) the subsequent transformation should apply to. Something along the lines of this:
<xsl:template match="/" mode="transform"> <xsl:apply-templates select="/root/data[@id='whatever']"/> </xsl:template>
That works great, too. However, I find myself unable to using the XPath parameter instead of the constant XPath expression, as in
<xsl:template match="/" mode="transform"> <xsl:apply-templates select="$para-xpath"/> </xsl:template>
