Dear list,
I would like to ask for your help with the following puzzling behavior that I have encountered. The situation is that I am testing whether the context node, which is a <person> element with child elements (first?, middle?, last), is deep-equal to one of a set of other nodes. I found the following solution: some $p in //person satisfies deep-equal($p, .) However, when I store the context node in a variable, like so: <xsl:variable name="person"> \xA0\xA0 <xsl:copy-of select="."/> </xsl:variable> and then make the comparison with the variable, like so: some $p in //person satisfies deep-equal($p, $person) then the test comes out false. Why is that? Why does it make a difference whether I store the context node in a variable or call it directly? Thanks in advance for your help! Wolfhart
