RE: why get the value not be calculated

Oke,



I found this what maybe can solve the problem.



<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="custom_template">
   <xsl:with-param name="attribute_name" tunnel="yes">
      <xsl:choose>
         <xsl:when test="@attribute1">Attribute no. 1</xsl:when>
         <xsl:when test="@attribute2">Attribute no. 2</xsl:when>
         <xsl:otherwise>Error</xsl:otherwise>
      </xsl:choose>
   </xsl:with-param>
   <xsl:with-param name="attribute_value" tunnel="yes">
      <xsl:choose>
         <xsl:when test="@attribute1"><xsl:value-of
select="@attribute1"/></xsl:when>
         <xsl:when test="@attribute2"><xsl:value-of
select="@attribute1"/></xsl:when>
         <xsl:otherwise>No matching attribute </xsl:otherwise>
      </xsl:choose>
   </xsl:with-param>
</xsl:apply-templates>




I have to take a look if I can adapt this to my situation.
