Hi,

::I am having an XML file like this ::

<root>
 <every>
   <event name="Ready"/>
 </every>
 <pattern>
   <connection destination="//every[1]/event[1]" />		
 </pattern>
</root>
-------------------------------
::When my XSL file has this code::

<xsl:template match="root">   
   <xsl:variable name="dest" 	select="//every[1]/event[1]"/>   
   <xsl:value-of select="$dest/@name"/>   
</xsl:template>

It prints 'Ready'.
Here I am directly assigning variable 'dest' to the path of the event.
This is ok.
-------------------------------
::When I changed my XSL code to ::

<xsl:template match="root">   
   <xsl:variable name="dest"
select="//pattern[1]/connection[1]/@destination"/>   
   <xsl:value-of select="$dest/@name"/>   
</xsl:template>

It doesn't print 'Ready' or anything.
Here I am storing variable 'dest' with the value of the
'connection/@destination', Which I expected to work properly but it is not
working.
------------------------------

How can I print 'event-name' using 'connection-destination'?
