Question

I have a variable:

<xsl:variable name="code" select="F2"/>

can I reinitializing it anywhere else in my code? is it possible?
I need save the current node in it and determine whether rejected it or pass in.

Answer 1

xsl:variables cannot be reassigned ‘explicitly’, although their scope is limited to the current construct (e.g. xsl:template or xsl:for-each), and so will be ‘re-initialized’ as it traverses to the next ‘each’.

xsl:variables can be pointed to a node, i.e.

<xsl:variable name="someNodeVar" select="xpathToElement"/>

and then used e.g.

<xsl:value-of select="$someNodeVar/relativeXpathGoesHere/text()"/>
