Full Comparison of current node and a node stored in a variable

Hi,

I wanted to compare the "current()" node with a node I stored into a variable. I simply tried using <xsl:if test="$var=current()"> but of course it didn't work

I was looking for a solution in forums, but I only found ways to compare the contents of sub-components (childrens, granchildrens etc.) but leaving out the attributes.

What I want is a full match (starting from that node) of the two subtrees.

Thanks in advance for your help

With XSLT 2.0 there is http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions/#func-deep-equal, perhaps it does what you need.

Oh thanks a lot!!!....I realized a second after posting that it was sufficient to search for "xsl subtrees comparison"

Sorry for spamming the forum with my silly question :(
