Hi XSL-ers,
Another question for you I hope you can answer.
first I fill 2 xsl:variables:
first XML:
<xsl:variable name="ancestor" select="ancestor::xsd:complexType/@name"/>
<xsl:variable name="naam" select="@name"/>
I checked and these xsl:variables are filled correctly.
and I want to use these as follows:
<xsl:variable name="ShrtDescr" select="document('Descriptions.xml')/Descriptions/$ancestor/$naam/DescriptionShort" />
to be able to show the description from the second Descriptions-xml:
Short Description: <xsl:value-of select="@ShrtDescr"/>
But XML-spy doesn't accept the $.. in the select=...
What to do?
