[xsl] Adding form elements captured from xml

["Aaron Johnson" <artpunx@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi...

I have a set of choose / if tests which collect deBug information,
which, I would like to add to the top of a web form as a hidden field.

This is how I collect the deBug...

<div class="smallText errorText">Debug:</div>
<div class="smallText">
Current focused tab: <xsl:value-of select="//focusedTab/@name"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="count(//folder) &gt; 1">
<br  />
Current focused sub tab: <xsl:value-of
select="//layout/subtabs/folder/folder[@isFocused='true']/@name"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
<xsl:if test="count(//channel[@minimized='false']) &gt; 0">
<br  />
Current visible channels:  <xsl:for-each
select="//channel[@minimized='false']/@title"> <xsl:value-of
select="."/>, </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="count(//channel[@minimized='true']) &gt; 0">
<br  />
Current hidden channels:  <xsl:for-each
select="//channel[@minimized='true']/@title"> <xsl:value-of
select="."/>, </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="//focusedContent">
<br />
Current maximised channel: <xsl:value-of
select="//focusedContent/channel/@title"/>
</xsl:if>
</div>

I imagined that I could do something similar a little like
this....where 'foo' would be the value collected by the xsl:for-each
element.

<div id="hiddenChannelStats">
<input type="hidden" name="Current focused tab:" value="" />
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="count(//folder) &gt; 1">
<input type="hidden" name="Current focused sub tab:" id="" value="" />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
<xsl:if test="count(//channel[@minimized='false']) &gt; 0">
<input type="hidden" name="Current visible channels:" value="" />
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="count(//channel[@minimized='true']) &gt; 0">
<input type="hidden" name="Current hidden channels:" value="" />
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="//focusedContent">
<input type="hidden" name="Current maximised channel:" value="" />
</xsl:if>
</div>

...but you can't put the <xsl:for-each> elements inside the value=""
because it's not valid code.

can anyone give me any advice?

Thanks....

Aaron

NB: Here is the xml....
