expression expected
Oops. I still need help, but I mistyped this...I did not use AVT in the
xpath, I used //Station[name=@name] which still doesn't work of course. How
does one refer to the current element's attribute in a recursive template?

thanks, kb

Hi, I'm trying to set a row color based on whether or not the /Station
element of a given "name" attribute has /Board descendents. I'm getting an
"expression expected" error where I specify {@name} in the variable
name="boards" line. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kathy

<xsl:template match="Station">
		
<xsl:variable name="boards" select="//Station[name={@name}]/Boards/Board" />
<xsl:variable name="nboards" select="count($boards)" />
<xsl:choose>
  	<xsl:when test="$nboards &lt; 1">
		<tr bgcolor="navy" valign="middle">
			<td width="70%"><h3><xsl:number level="single"
format="1." count="Station"/>&#160;&#160;<xsl:value-of
select="@name"/></h3></td>

<otherwise> lines here...etc.
