Re: dynamic file variable

Hi:

    Try and define your variable as:
    <xsl:variable name="refname">
      <xsl:value-of select="@linkname"/>
    </xsl:variable>

I think you want the "linkname" attribute NOT THE "refname" attribute
(which according to your description does not exists in your XML source).

(As a side note, naming variables and attributes with the same name can lead
to confusion)

Hope it helps,
Carmelo Montanez
