Raphael,

At 03:47 PM 10/28/2002, you wrote:

Is there a way to use parameters containg xpath-expressions for a
for-each loop? I d'like to to something like that:

<xsl:for-each select="$xPathExpression">
do anything
</xsl:for-each>

If the parameter is bound to a node set, you can do this.

If your parameter is, however, a string that happens to be XPath, such as "//*", which you wish to be *evaluated* to return a node set to be traversed ... no luck. But some processors have an extension function for this, such as saxon:evaluate (I think he calls it).

Cheers,
Wendell
