Hi Folks, I need to write a stylesheet which dynamically alters the value of a globally scoped variable. Some thoughts come to mind: 1. Create a global variable with a value, and then dynamically change the value. Regrettably this is not allowed in 1.0 or 2.0. 2. Create a range variable with a sequence of values. From reading the specs this seemed promising. Here's an example of how this might work: <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:value-of select="for $i in (1 to 10) return (ex:print())"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:function ex:print"> <xsl:value-of select="$i"/> </xsl:function> >From reading the specs I got the impression that the range variable ($i) would have a scope over everything within "return (...)". In my example, within the return is a call to a function. I was thinking that the range variable's scope would extend to the ex:print function. Alas, it doesn't (unless there is a bug in SAXON). I am out of ideas. Is there any way to create a dynamically changeable global variable? /Roger XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
