Hi all,
I was trying to set a background colour by setting a variable after checking
the contents of a node. I realized that this would not work unless I used
LOTS of variables since the value of a variable cannot be updated once set.
Does anyone have an easier way to set a colour based on data? The only other
way I can think of is to use an <xsl:choose> but then I have to repeat my
whole table cell code twice (which really adds up for large reports).

This is what I currently have (which is pretty awful):

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="BREAK_3/FIELD_134[1]=Y or BREAK_3/FIELD_135[1]='F'">
     <fo:table-cell background-color="#9DE1DF"> .... contents of the cell
.... </fo:table-cell>
</xsl:when>

<xsl:otherwise>
     <fo:table-cell background-color="white">...exactly the same code for
the contents...</fo:table-cell>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

TIA for listening to my silly question,
Helen.
