Hi Xavier, > <!-- This line works --> > <xsl:copy-of select="$x[@my-attrib-name=$z]/node()"/> > <!-- This line doesn't, nor any line of that kind I've tried... --> > <xsl:copy-of select="$x[@$y=$z]/node()"/> Here, you're trying to evaluate a string (held in the $y variable) as (part of) an XPath. You can't do that without an extension function like saxon:evaluate() to do the evaluation. However, you can compare the name of an attribute to the string. So you can use the following to find the attribute with the name given by the $y variable: @*[local-name() = $y] And therefore use: <xsl:copy-of select="$x[@*[local-name() = $y] = $z]/node()" /> I hope that helps, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
