Re: [xsl] Easy one! variables & documents)

["Karl J. Stubsjoen" <karl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I GOT IT!!!!!!

     <xsl:for-each select="@*">
     <xsl:variable name="name" select="name()"/>
        <tr>
        <td><!-- lookup text for display in xml template -->
        <xsl:value-of select="$xmTmplt[@name=$name]/@text"/></td>
     <td>
        ....

Is this the way to do it?  Did I need to declare the variable name, or could
I have accessed name directly from the select?

Thanks for the help.
Karl
