RE: [xsl] conditional declaretion of a variable

[Sundar Shanmugasundaram <SSHANMUGASUNDARAM@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Variable has to be declared like this:

<xsl:variable name="valueField">
<xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test="@valueField">
	<xsl:value-of select="@valueField"/>  </xsl:when>
  <xsl:otherwise>
	<xsl:value-of select="@field"/>
  </xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>

Does this answer your question?

>>  </xsl:otherwise>
>></xsl:choose>

<xsl:value-of select="$field" />

i would use the valueField variable for a value attribute
of a option element (html)..

thanks!
