Re: Comparing attributes and setting the values

Hi Michael,

Thank you so much for replying.
Yes, I have a deadline :(  and I have been reading a lot of xslt stuff
available on the internet, going through ebooks and online tutorials but I
still have little bit of confusion about xslt tree creation.
I have tried your suggestion out but my xslt processor throws an error. It
is not able to process the stylesheet because of apply-templates part where
you have passed the variable.
<A>
            <target>
                <xsl:apply-templates select="$union/*" />
            </target>
        </A>

And if I try to pass it using <value-of> element then it prints the text
nodes.
Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks,
BR,
Varun
