Problem with the copy-of

[bchagnon]

Hello!

I'm trying to create my Xpath in a variable and give to the copy-of function. The problem is the xml result. The xpath is not execute by the copy-of function, the xpath is displayed on the screen! What's i'm doing wrong???

I'm doing it because my xpath is normally in another xml file.

This is the xsl code
Thanks!

<xsl:template match=&quot;/&quot; >
<xsl:variable name=&quot;sValue&quot;>Purchases</xsl:variable>
<Days>
<xsl:for-each select=&quot;/Days/Day&quot;>
<Day>
<xsl:copy-of select = &quot;Date&quot; />
<Restaurants>
<xsl:for-each select=&quot;/Days/Day/Restaurants/Restaurant/Data&quot;>
<Restaurant>
<xsl:copy-of select = &quot;../RestaurantId&quot; />
<Data>
--> <xsl:copy-of select = &quot;$sValue&quot; />
<xsl:copy-of select = &quot;Sales&quot; />
</Data>
</Restaurant>
</xsl:for-each>
</Restaurants>
</Day>
</xsl:for-each>
</Days>
</xsl:template>

I believe xpaths are resolved at compile time not runtime. The best you can do is an xpath with a predicate of the form [name()=$svalue]
