Re: global variable that contain a node-set
Robert,

That's working fine...

Here you're putting into the src attribute of the img element the
*content* of the image nodes you've collected. Naturally enough,
they're empty elements so you end up putting nothing in. Change the
XPath to:
<img src="&img_uri;/{$leftnav.imagenodes[@id='joinus'and
@lang=/page/@lang]/@filename}"/>
and you'll see it's working fine :)
I hope that helps,
Jeni
