Re: [xsl] Assigning a boolean value to a variable

[David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx>]

   Hi,

       The following code :

   <?xml version="1.0"?>
   <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
	   xmlns:true="urn:dummy:true"
	   xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

	   <true:dummy />

	   <xsl:param name="input" />

	   <xsl:template match="/">
		   <xsl:variable name="boolVar"
   select="boolean(document('')/xsl:stylesheet/*[namespace-uri() =
   $input])" />
		   <xsl:choose>
			   <xsl:when test="$boolVar">true</xsl:when>
			   <xsl:otherwise>false</xsl:otherwise>
		   </xsl:choose>
	   </xsl:template>

   </xsl:stylesheet>

   ...prints out "true" when the parameter "input" has a value of
   "urn:dummy:true" and false otherwise. Is there a simpler way to
   conditionally assign a boolean value to boolVar depending on the value
   of the parameter "input"?

   Thanks,
   Kenneth


Don't you just want:


<xsl:template match="/">
 <xsl:value-of select="$input='urn:dummy:true'"/>
</xsl:template>
