RE: xsl:variable question

the second one dose work, since the variable is declared in top level
template.
and the son and grandson templates called should be able to access it.

I found the problem, for the first one, i should have something like
<xsl:if test="$mode=1"> instead of <xsl:if test="$mode='1'"> 

cheers

Long

My first impression is that neither should work, as the scope of the
mode variable is only defined within the first template. I'm not sure
why your second one does work.

I would have a stylesheet like:
<xsl:stylesheet>
<xsl:variable name="mode" select="'1'"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
	......
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="dosomething">
	<xsl:if test="$mode='1'">
		.....
	</xsl:if>
	.....
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

HTH,
Joshua
