Hi all,
I'm having problems creating an xsl:variable that I can use as the node set for an 'xsl:for-each' tag. Basiacally... <xsl:variable name="selectclause" select=" some nodes "/> <xsl:for-each select="$selectclause"> ... my code... </xsl:for-each> My problem is that the select statement of the variable needs to be dynamic. Such as... (and I know this doesn't work.. ) <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$clientid = ''"> <xsl:variable name="selectclause" select = "//client"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:variable name="selectclause" select = "//client[$clientid]"/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> <xsl:for-each select="$selectclause"> my code </xsl:for-each> It doesn't work because the contents of the variable 'selectclause' cannot be changed. Of course, this doesn't work either... <xsl:variable name="selectclause"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$clientid = ''">"//client"</xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise>"//client[$clientid]"</xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:variable> <xsl:for-each select="$selectclause"> my code </xsl:for-each> ... because the content of $selectclause isn't a node set. Does anyone have any advice for me?? Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Ollie Lord. XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
