Re: what is the most straight forward way to construct and element na me

You are missing the <xsl:element> functionality ...

The following should do the trick:

   <xsl:if test="$element='House'">
      <xsl:element name="$element">
            <cost>100000.00</cost>
      </xsl:element>
   </xsl:if>
