Hi, I have the following template: <xsl:template name="get_attribute"> <xsl:param name="attribute"/> <xsl:value-of select="@<<FIXME>>"/> </xsl:template> I would like to use the value of the attribute parameter passed into this template as the attribute match expression in the inner most select. But I am quite confused as to what the syntax is for doing this. For instance, given this XML, <foo> <node attrib1="1" attrib2="2"/> </foo> I would like to invoke the get_attribute template as follows: <xsl:call-template name="get_attribute"> <xsl:with-param name="attribute>attrib1</xsl:with-param> <xsl:call-template name="get_attribute"> <xsl:with-param name="attribute>attrib2</xsl:with-param> I have tried the following syntaxes, with no success. The parser gives syntax errors. <xsl:value-of select="@$attribute"/> <xsl:value-of select="@{$attribute}"/> <xsl:value-of select="@'$attribute'"/> <xsl:value-of select="@string($attribute)"/> Everything works fine, if I directly key in the attribute name: <xsl:value-of select="@attrib1"/> and so on. Am I trying to do something really stupid? Please advise. It sounds like it would be useful to construct the xpath expression via variables. matt
