RE: Problems passing attributes

Doug,
The simple answer is <table border="$border;" should be <table
border="{$border}" .
But that won't solve it because this
<xsl:if test="@border=''">
 	<xsl:variable name="border">
 		"0"
 	</xsl:variable>
 </xsl:if>
 <xsl:if test="@border!=''">
 <xsl:variable name="border">
 	<xsl:value-of select="@border"/>
 </xsl:variable>
</xsl:if>
Won't work because by the time you come to use the variable border it is
out of scope. Use
<xsl:variable name="border">
  <xsl:if test="@border=''">0</xsl:if>
  <xsl:if test="@border!=''"><xsl:value-of select="@border"/></xsl:if>
</xsl:variable>
Instead
