Hi,

OK. I can't use variables or parameters in a href attribut in a <xsl:include>.

My problem is that I have lots of different stylesheets for the main-template (<xsl:call-template name="main"/>), and I don't want to write millions of different xsl's that differ just in one entry (<xsl:include href="XXXXX"/>).
Is there an other way to solve this problem?


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:variable name="main"><xsl:value-of select="/document/style"/></xsl:variable>
<xsl:template match="/document">
<html>
...
<xsl:call-template name="main"/>
...
</html>
</xsl:template>
<!-- wrong usage of include -->
<xsl:include href="{$main}"/>
<!-- end wrong usage -->
<!-- needed to "code" around it -->
</xsl:stylesheet>



Regards Jonny

Including a template with a variable in the href-attribut doesn't work in this case.

Including and importing other style sheets is a compile time feature. Parameters and variables are bound at run time. This means: you can't use a variable or parameter in the href of an import or include. The value is used literally, it is never interpreted as XPath or AVT.

Bu what did I do wrong?

Not reading the spec? BTW this is a FAQ. The XSL FAQ should have an entry for this.
