Re: [xsl] Variable construction: Afterthought...

[Aaron Johnson <Aaron2.Johnson@xxxxxxxxx>]

There is an existing document which I cannot change. In the document there
is a line of code...

.....If you have any queries, please contact your <a target="_blank"
 href="{$helpUrl}">Faculty Office</a> without delay....

...which outputs a line of text with a url in it.

I understand that the {$helpUrl} is a variable.

The document that contains this variable, another .xsl,  can be changed and
is as follows:

<xsl:param name="helpFac"/>
  <xsl:variable name="helpUrl">
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="$helpFac !=
''">http://info.uwe.ac.uk/myuwe/targettedHelp/default.asp?helpArea=<xsl:valu
e-of select="$helpFac"/></xsl:when>
      
<xsl:otherwise>http://info.uwe.ac.uk/myuwe/targettedHelp/default.asp</xsl:ot
herwise>
    </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:variable>

I want to get rid of the "helpFac" parameter as well as the choose statement
and replace the whole thing with a single url.

...so I thought that

<xsl:variable name="helpUrl"
select="http://info.uwe.ac.uk/myuwe/myMarks.asp"/>

...would suffice. I can't test it because I don't have any xml to run
against it....sounds stupid I know but I'm still fairly new to xsl...I'm
trying to think logically.
