Thanks for UR suggestion. It solved my problem (though my page is now full

Hi Madhavi,
you can do the following
<xsl:variable name = "uContact">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="your condition">
<xsl:text>The condition is satisfied</xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:text>The condition is not satisfied</xsl:text>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="$uContact"/>
This will set the value of the uContact based on the condition
