Try

<xsl:variable name="colr" select="'#FFCCCC'" />

OR

<xsl:variable name="colr" select="string('#FFCCC')" />

Subject: [xsl] How to use a variable for bgcolor?


How can I use an XSLT variable to be used as background color in
an html table? The '#' in the color definition is giving me fits.
For example, if I define a variable like so:

<xsl:variable name="colr" select="#FFCCCC"/>

and then try to use it like so:

<td bgcolor="{$colr}">

I get an error complaining about the '#' character. How can I
define bgcolors as variables or am I going about it all wrong?
(I'm pretty new to XSLT.)

TIA,
