Unless you convert $values to a node-set (using an extension function), you shouldn't even get the results you describe. When you bind a variable name to a value using template content, the data type is result tree fragment, and most XPath operations are not allowed on rtf. Your xslt processor may be silently coercing rtf to node-set (which in many cases would be helpful, but is not in accord with the current specification). See http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#section-Result-Tree-Fragments. Anyway, assuming you get $values to be a node-set, you can parameterize the selection using a predicate to specify the name of the element, like so (I show example using xt's node-set function on $values): <xsl:template name="x"> ... <xsl:value-of select="xt:node-set($values)/*[name() = @value]"/> ... </xsl:template> Or, from anywhere in your stylesheet (assuming just one <x> element): <xsl:value-of select="xt:node-set($values)/*[name() = current()//x/@value]"/> Hope this helps, Paul Tyson, Principal Consultant Precision Documents paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://precisiondocuments.com "The art and science of document engineering." ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ofer Kalisky" <kalisky@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <XSL-List@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2001 4:07 AM Subject: [xsl] Giving values to xsl:variable by xml attribute > How do I set a value of a variable by attribute? > > Let's say I want to determine the value of a variable from a list by node > name (I have the static names in advance): > > This is my static xsl tree > <xsl:variable name="values"> > <one>1</one> > <two>2</two> > </values> > > This is the input xml: > <x value="one"/> > > and now I want to access it in the xsl: > > . > . > . > <xsl:value-of name="$values/one"/> > > This will work, but what if I want the "one" node to be determined by the > xml value? > > > > XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list > XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
