You can fill the blanks with the <xsl:value-of> to assign a value to the variable or <xsl:sequence> to assign a result of a XPath expression to the variable. Lisa -----Original Message----- From: cknell@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:cknell@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, January 04, 2006 9:20 AM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Problem with conditional definition of a variable Depending on whether or not a parameter is passed to the stylesheet, I'd like to define a variable differently. I have defined two parameters in the stylesheet to be passed from a command line: "spiral" has a default value. "phase" is defined without a default value. This unconditional definition works as expected: <xsl:variable name="s1-reqs" select="document('X:/Project documents/matrix-xml/spiral-phase-update-template.xml')/requirements/req uirement[@spiral=$spiral]" /> I think I ought to be able to declare the variable with a construct like this: <xsl:variable name="s1-reqs"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$phase=''"> <!-- Something goes here when no "phase" parameter is passed --> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <!-- Something goes here if a "phase" parameter is passed --> </xsl:otherwise> <xsl:choose> </xsl:variable> but I must have the wrong idea because I can't find a way to fill in the blanks. If someone sees where I'm going astray, please clear this up for me. Thanks. -- Charles Knell cknell@xxxxxxxxxx - email
