Bart,

At 08:04 AM 7/27/2004, you wrote:
<xsl:variable name="nr" select="hoticon_nr"/> <!--here I retrieve the ID from an XML node-->
<xsl:template match="option[@value=$nr]">
<option value="{$nr}" select="selected">
<xsl:copy-of select="@*|node()"/>
</option>
</xsl:template>

Try it like this:


<xsl:template match="option">
  <option value="{$nr}" select="selected">
    <xsl:if select="@value = $nr">
      <xsl:attribute name="select">selected</xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:if>
    <xsl:copy-of select="@*|node()"/>
  </option>
</xsl:template>

...since you can't match a node based on the value of a variable, just attach the attribute conditionally.

Cheers,
Wendell
