Re: variable holding a xml document created by xslt

Thanks David,

Confused? yep!

You showed me the lookup idea last year and I use it now for constants but
in this case the lookup list will change depending on what lables are in
view, so the list needs to be created dynamically.

I am using msxml4,  I think you are suggesting that if I create a template
that returns a xml fragment

eg.

<template name="get-rect"
 <xsl:value-of select>
   <lable>
    <xsl:attribute name="x1">100</xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name="x2">110</xsl:attribute>
  <lable>
 </xsl:value-of select>
</template>

I can access this fragment using

<xsl:variable name="lable-rect">
 <xsl:call-template name="get-rect"/>
<xsl:variable>

$lable-rect/@x1
