You can use <xsl:param/> insted of <xsl:variable/> and call the template
recursively for changing value of parameter.
Try the following:
	<xsl:template name="foo">
		<xsl:param name="start_x">5</xsl:param>
		<xsl:param name="check_need">yes</xsl:param>
		<xsl:if test="$check_need = 'yes'">
			<xsl:if test="true()">
				<!-- use the variable and add to it -->
				<xsl:call-template name="foo">
					<xsl:with-param name="start_x">10</xsl:with-param>
					<xsl:with-param name="check_need">no</xsl:with-param>
				</xsl:call-template>
			</xsl:if>
		</xsl:if>
	</xsl:template>

Subject: [xsl] xsl:variable ?


I am trying to use an xsl:variable to store a previous
value of a starting point for me to draw some
information. The syntax goes something like this:
.
.
.
<xsl:template name="foo">
  <xsl:variable name="start_x" select="5"/>
  <xsl:if test="true">
    <!-- use the variable and add to it -->
    <xsl:variable name="start_x" select="10"/>
  </xsl:if>

  <!-- if i use start_x here it just contains 5 and
not 10 -->
  <xsl:value-of select="$start_x"/>

</xsl:template>
.
.
.

I have read that xsl:variables are constant so it
would seem that I can not change the value of my
variable, but if this is the case then how can I work
around this problem? I need to store a value to use it
later and manipulate the variable?!

Thanks,

Bryan
