Re: [xsl] Whats Wrong with: <xsl:value-of select="//exec[@stepid=$temp_step]/dds/dd[logical/@id=$temp_id]" />

[Mike Ferrando <mikeferrando@xxxxxxxxx>]

Friends,
To expand on David's post, I find it easier and less liable to error
to express the variable this way when I want a string:
 XLST 1.0
  <xsl:variable name="temp_id">SORTOUT</xsl:variable>
