- Reply-to: xsl-list at lists dot mulberrytech dot com
I was wondering if anyone could give me a hand with this...
I need the value of an element, but the name of that element is stored
in a variable - see below:
Where I say <xsl:apply-templates select="$hello" /> I actually want the
value of the element whose name is stored in the variable hello, not the
value of the variable.
<xsl:template match="thing">
<xsl:variable name="hello">
officename1_<xsl:value-of select="$PageLang" />
</xsl:variable>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Office: <xsl:apply-templates select="$hello"
/></td><td></td>
</tr>
</table>
</xsl:template>
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
_Ben
