The final result is a result tree fragment containing a single text node. Is this what you want? > > <xsl:variable name="cell" select="following-sibling::*[position() = > 1]/text[@name=$colname] | > following-sibling::*[position() = > 1]/select[@name=$colname] | > following-sibling::*[position() = > 1]/checkbox[@name=$colname] | > following-sibling::*[position() = > 1]/label[@name=$colname]"/> > > The second expression allows me to work with $cell, the first > expression > doesn't. > In the case of the first expression I get an error message > even though I know that he > node I'm interested in exists. Why is that? Perhaps because the end tag </out:variable> does not match the start tag <xsl:variable>. > Unfortunately, I > cannot use the > second > expression because I have to add some if-statement into the > whole business. > There's a way around that with node-sets: instead of if ($a) then $b else $c write $b[$a] | $c[not($a)] Mike Kay XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
