If WBSLServiceData is empty then the result is empty, otherwise the result is the same as $addorDef/PostCode But I suspect that $addorDef is actually a string. For example, perhaps it is the string ABC. Your expression would then mean the same as WBSLServiceData/"ABC"/PostCode which is a type error: the lh operand of "/" must be a node-set, not a string. What you want is WBSLServiceData/*[name() = $addorDef]/PostCode Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/ > > So a variabel within a variable. > > I was thinking to use the { } as a solution. > > <xsl:value-of select="WBSLServiceData/{$addorDef}/PostCode"/> > or > <xsl:value-of select="{WBSLServiceData/$addorDef/PostCode}"/> > > But none of them works... > > What am I missing? > > Many Thanks, > Houman
