Hi, > Thanks a million for the answer. This solved my problem. > I am still confused though. You say that I cannot "alter > alter the value of $field." Yup, you can't change the value of a variable in XSLT once it's been bound. > This line changes (read translates) the content of "$field" node > > <xsl:value-of select="translate($field, ',', '.')" /> It doesn't change the value, it creates a new text node with the translated value. if you do <xsl:value-of select="translate($field, ',', '.')" /> <xsl:value-of select="$field" /> the latter value-of will evaluate to the original value. > If however I want ot change the value of $field variable, > how would I do that? You don't in XSLT. > Why the stupid question? I thought > that if > $field = "A,text,string" > > then > translate($field, ',', '.') > > would be equivalent to > translate("A,text,string", ',', '.') They are equivalent, but the value of $field doesn't change. The xsl:value-of evaluates the string value of the new text node created by the translate function.
