The XSLT spec says that it's not allowed. Since this is part of a family of frequently-asked questions, let me take a moment to describe how I get the answer quickly. I look at either my XSLT reference card from Mulberry Technologies or Appendix B of the W3C XSLT 1.0 Recommendation ("the spec") and I see name="qname" for call-template, as opposed to name="{qname}" which I see, for example, on xsl:element. The braces are the signal that a variable could be used. >Is there an alternate way I could do this? >I just want to invoke one out of a set of >templates based on the value of a variable at runtime. If the list of triggering criteria is finite, then you can set up an xsl:choose with cases based on the value. Each case would have to call a template with a fixed name. Another approach which may be better in some cases is a two-pass solution, where you generate the stylesheet for the second pass at runtime. .................David Marston XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
