This FAQ appeared yesterday on this list.  Here it is again.

<xsl:variable name="globalVar1">
	<xsl:choose>
		<xsl:when test="count(element1)>0">
			CONDVAL11
		</xsl:when>
		<xsl:when test="count(element2)>0">
			CONDVAL21
		</xsl:when>	
		<xsl:otherwise>
			DEFAULTVAL1
		</xsl:otherwise>
	<xsl:choose>	
</xsl:variable>

and the same for globalVar2.

Hi All, 

Here is the flow of what I have to do. I want to know if its possible using
stylesheet variables.


<xsl:stylesheet version='1.0'
xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'>

<xsl:variable name="globalVar1">DEFAULTVAL1</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="globalVar2">DEFAULTVAL2</xsl:variable>

<xsl:template match="parent">
<!-- compute and assign value to the variables declared above-->
	<xsl:choose>
		<xsl:when test="count(element1)>0">
			set globalVar1="CONDVAL11"
			set globalVar2="CONDVAL12"
		</xsl:when>
		<xsl:when test="count(element2)>0">
			set globalVar1="CONDVAL21"
			set globalVar2="CONDVAL22"
		</xsl:when>		
	<xsl:choose>	

<!-- Display the variables in the HTML page -->
<html>
	<head>
		<title>
			<xsl:value-of select="$globalVar1" />
		</title>
	</head>
	<body>
		<b>
			<xsl:value-of select="$globalVar2" />
		</b>
	</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


The xml structure could be...
<parent>
	<element1> ... </element1>
	<element2> ... </element2>
</parent>

So, in the <html> </html> portion the globalVar1 and globaVar2 should show
CONDVALxx   value.    Also, the aim is to keep the number of <xsl:when...>
less and to have a generic <html> </html> code.
