If its actually derived from something else, then that method won't work (the xpath will give you the XSL instructions defining the value, not the value itself). Instead you can do this (where 'yes' could be replaced by some expression: note the double quoting, select="yes" means something else entirely). <xsl:variable name="display-value" select="'yes'" /> <xsl:attribute-set name="set"> <xsl:attribute name="display"> <xsl:value-of select="$display-value" /> </xsl:attribute> </xsl:attribute-set> <xsl:template match="node"> <xsl:if test="$display-value = 'yes'" > <!-- do something --> </xsl:if> </xsl:template> I don't *think* I'm falling foul of any XSLT rules - I haven't tested this.
