Re: [xsl] xpath based on condition

[Joerg Heinicke <joerg dot heinicke at gmx dot de>]

Hello Aruniima,

you have to use <xsl:copy-of select="//Header/*[name()=$Path]"/>, but with 
this you will create a Result Tree Fragment, which can be converted back to 
a node set via an extension function.

But maybe it's enough to use:

<xsl:variable name="xpath-header" select="//Header"/>

<xsl:variable name="xpath" select="$xpath-header/*[name()=$Path]"/>

and do the logic whether to use $xpath-header or $xpath later. Maybe you can 
also use

<xsl:variable name="xpath" select="//Header/*[name()=$Path] | //Header"/>

(UNION of both node sets) and choose later the correct node/value from this 
node set.

Regards,

Joerg
