reset xsl variable
Bruce,

Sorry, I'm missing a bit of context: can you show us the code with this erroneous result? plus a sample of what you want it to be?

My first suggestion only concerns the variable declaration; how it is used depends on you. The second suggestion should not (cannot) result in the output you are showing.

Perhaps you are using an xsl:value-of statement instead of the xsl:copy-of I suggested? That would give you the wrong results....

Cheers,
Wendell

Thanks Wendell,

  I tried below suggestion, but getting output like..
<td>
  <input type="hidden" name="varPass" value="99999">schite
</td>

instead of..
<td>
  <input type="hidden" name="varPass" value="schite">
</td>

You're on the right track:

<xsl:variable name="testVar">
   <xsl:choose>
     <xsl:test if="@colID=5">
       <xsl:value-of select="@value"/>
     </xsl:test>
     <xsl:otherwise>99999</xsl:otherwise>
   </xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>

Or sometimes there are more concise ways to achieve the behavior you want:

<input type="hidden" name="varPass" value="99999">
   <xsl:copy-of select="@value[current()/@colID=5]"/>
</input>

No variable needed -- value defaults to 99999 unless your colID is 5, in
which case @value is copied.

Cheers,
Wendell
