Re: [xsl] Correlation between two xml trees

[John Sands <WonkoWatson at Yahoo dot com>]

Hi Joerg,

Thank you very much. It works, but I'd like to understand it.

> <xsl:template match="z:row">
>    <data>
>      <xsl:variable name="data" select="."/>
>      <xsl:for-each select="$outputdef/root/column">
>        <xsl:element name="{@tagname}">
>          <xsl:value-of select="$data/@*[name()=current()/@dbcolumn]"/>
>        </xsl:element>
>      </xsl:for-each>
>    </data>
> </xsl:template>

I understand the use of the xsl:variable, but the rest of the expression
is still baffling to me:

    select="$data/@*[name()=current()/@dbcolumn]"

Can you explain what it does, please?

Thanks,
John Sands
