Re: A Problem with Variables and Xpath

Hi All!

It is possible to gather the value of an attribute using variable in
Xpath? How?

I have a variable like this:

<xsl:variable name="foo">something</xsl:variable>

and I am trying to set an attribute in this way:

<disney>
   <xsl:attribute name="mickey">
    <xsl:value-of select="./$foo"/>
   </xsl:attribute>
</disney>

where $foo is the name of an attribute of the source document.

Then you want
  <xsl:value-of select="@*[local-name() = $foo]"/>
