of course the choice of word 'variable' is unfortunate cuz it may indicate to the uninitiated 'something that could possibly vary' . something like 'term' or 'item' would've been a bit less confusing. But it does vary: <xsl:template match="question">
<xsl:variable name="correct-answer"
select="key('answers',@number)"/>
<xsl:variable name="score"
select="@weight * boolean(answer=$correct-answer)"/>
....
</xsl:template>Every question gets a different score. x + 1 = y x is a "variable" depending on the value of y (and vice-versa), but given y, the value of x is fixed. Udi's point about the "uninitiated" is well taken; but why should the language of BASIC or FORTRAN trump the language of mathematics? Cheers, Wendell
