This is a theoretical bit of XSL code which I need a practical version of: All the variables are passed as parameters to the stylesheet. <xsl:for-each select="//$record-type"> <xsl:sort select="$sort-by" order="$sort-order" /> <xsl:if test="$lh-operator $operand $rh-operator"> <tr> <xsl:for-each select="*"> <td><xsl:value-of select="." /></td> </xsl:for-each> </tr> </xsl:if> </xsl:for-each> Any ideas? Is it possible? Or do I need to use this basic construct multiple times using <xsl:if> for each variable and the correct names of nodes and operands. (The number of permutations is massive!) Cheers, Richard ------------------------------------------------------------- This is question I was going to ask (it might make things clearer): Is there a way of selecting nodes which have the name $some-variable using an XPath expression? e.g. <xsl:for-each select="//$some-variable"> would, in theory (though not in practice - I've tried it!), select all the nodes whose name is equal to whatever the value of $some-variable is. ------------------------------------------------------------- XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
