You can avoid that this way: <xsl:variable name="aVar"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="do a test"> <xsl:value-of select="'when var'"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:value-of select="'otherwise var'"/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:variable> <xsl:value-of select="$aVar"/> -- Ingo Schildmann ingoschi@xxxxxx XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
