Re: [xsl] xsl:if @attribute + xsl:variable not working

[Alessio Mazzieri <mazzieri@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is an alternative solution to your problem:

<xsl:for-each select="area">
  <td>
    <xsl:attribute name="bgcolor">
      <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="@position=1">
          #FF7A0
        </xsl:when>
        <xsl:otherwise>
          #FF980F
        </xsl:otherwise>
      </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:attribute>
  </td>
</xsl:for-each>

About the message error, I think that the problem is an "out-of-scope" 
matter, because both the <xsl:variable> are inside an <xsl:if> element.
Give an eye to Mickeal Kay's XSLT Programmers Reference, page 315: the 
same example! :)
