RE: [xsl] Setting table row color with xsl:choose and xsl:variable

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You need to write

<xsl:variable name="rowClass">
  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="condition1">value1</xsl:when>
    <xsl:when test="condition2">value2</xsl:when>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>

Alternatively, write:

  <tr>
    <xsl:attribute name="rowClass">
      <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="condition1">value1</xsl:when>
        <xsl:when test="condition2">value2</xsl:when>
      </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:attribute>
    <td>
      ....

or in 2.0

  <tr rowClass="{if (condition1) then value1
                 else if (condition2) then value2
                 else default-value}">
