I defined my variables thus...
<xsl:variable name="data"
select="/callEvent//interaction" />
<xsl:variable name="columns"
select="document('tableData.xml')/titles/display/@id" />
This works nice.
I get data as I think I should.

I finally get what this is doing!
But it's not helping, (well, it mostly is but...)
[ My dummy data has 3 records, 12 fields
My tabelData has 6 of the above 12 fields
Thats all I want to see, a sub set
]
My problem with this is that when I run this, I get 3 rows, as I should
but I also get all 12 fields, not just the 6 as defined in tableData.
So I figure I need some conditional in here to see if the current NODE is
part of the tableData NODE set.
I just can't figure how to get that piece of info out of the 'variable' set
I have.
After several days of banging my head against the wall I thought I would ask
for help (again!).
