Hi again,

At 07:57 AM 9/28/2007, you wrote:
Very often though (eg sorting tables) you just need to specify an
element name, not a full path and that can be done with

select="*[name()=$name]"

if $name is the dynamically supplied string.

If you know it's always a two part path with 2 names you can of course
do

select="*[name()=$name1]/*[name()=$name2"

but this gets tedious if you want to be able to specify arbitrary paths.

You can also build keys that index to paths, parts of paths or quasi-paths, especially if you have functions (XSLT 2.0) that help make them for you.


Cheers,
Wendell
