RE: [xsl] displaying sql results in dropdown menus

["Vasu Chakkera" <vasucv@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

 ><option  value= "$idattr1">
          >    <xsl:value-of select="$idattr2"/>
         >    </option>

There is a  problem is in the above code..
you must use a curly brackets around the value.. like
 <option  value= "{idattr1}>
              <xsl:value-of select="$idattr2"/>
             </option>

You must use curly brackets when printing an attribute value which is not 
hard coded...
this is also referred to as attribute-value template..

Try This .. If ii works, Then I have understood your problem correctly.If 
not then please give more information and explain your problem better.
