RE: [xsl] using an attribute's value as input for value-of?

["Matthieu Ricaud" <matthieu.ricaud@xxxxxxx>]

if your XSLT processor doesn't support any evaluate() function you can
implement it.
Take a look at :
http://www.exslt.org/dyn/functions/evaluate/index.html

and :
http://www.xmleverywhere.com/tips/xslt.htm

hope this help,

Regards,
Matthieu.

Look for extension functions such as saxon:evaluate() or
saxon:evaluate-node().

The details depend on your chosen XSLT processor. This can't be done in
standard XSLT.
