OBTW - below code is working for all my needs, mission accomplished- thanks again flashlight -----Original Message----- From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Bruce Rojas-Rennke Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 2003 11:04 AM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [xsl] relatively new to XSL- variable setting question Hello Wendell, You're right, I was trying to simplify my code for testing and took a wrong shortcut and so your code does indeed work, and put me closer to my goal. My problem has one last twist, as my real code below will show. I have an XSL for-each element involved, and so have to allow for RowData nodes, as some will have a ColData element = 5, and some RowData nodes don't ... Thanks again for your help, that code is eloquent, very cool. at any rate here's my real code in case it's of interest to any one else.. <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="ColData/@colID='5'"> <xsl:call-template name="dateTime2"> <xsl:with-param name="dateBit2" select="ColData[@colID='5']/@value"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <input type="hidden" name="dateDue" value="99999999"/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> chao, flashlight -----Original Message----- From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Wendell Piez Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 2003 9:05 AM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [xsl] relatively new to XSL- variable setting question Bruce, Sorry, I'm missing a bit of context: can you show us the code with this erroneous result? plus a sample of what you want it to be? My first suggestion only concerns the variable declaration; how it is used depends on you. The second suggestion should not (cannot) result in the output you are showing. Perhaps you are using an xsl:value-of statement instead of the xsl:copy-of I suggested? That would give you the wrong results....
