Hi everyone. I'm trying to to populate an xsl:variable with an xsl:value-of,
as follows:

	<xsl:variable name="pid"><xsl:value-of
select="ancestor::PID"/></xsl:variable>

The xml looks something like this:

<PID>1
	<desc>blah blah</desc>
</PID>

The trouble is, <PID> is an element, with children, but I just want it's
text value - i.e. I want my variable to contain "1", not a string
representation of the whole tree!

And, no, I can't just make the PID value an attr of PID *sigh*

Pls help!!!
