I'm writing some xlst file which I want to use under linux and Windows. In this file I use node-set function which declared in different namespaces for MSXML and xsltproc ("urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt" and "http://exslt.org/common" respectively).

I need to get the value of the 'test' attribute in the xsl:when tag, and the 'name' attribute in the xsl:call-template tag. This xpath gets me pretty close: ..../xsl:template/xsl:choose/xsl:when But that just returns the 'when' elements, not the exact attribute values I need. Here is a snippet of my XML: <xsl:template match="fie...

I have a xsl file that is grabbing variables from xml and they seem to not be able to see each other. I know it is a scope issue, I just do not know what I am doing wrong. <xsl:template match="one"> <xsl:variable name="varOne" select="@count" /> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="two"> <xsl:if test="$varOne = 'Y'"> <xsl:value-...
