I am very new to xsl/xslt and have a basic problem. I am setting a style
sheet color based on a condition.
I'd like the color to be a variable value, like
<xsl:variable name="statColor" select="#33cc33">
and set this variable in the if/choose condtion.
In XSLT you have to turn this inside out:
<xsl:variable name="statColor">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="status='inprogress'">#33cc33</xsl:when>
<xsl:when>...
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>
Then it is in scope for all following siblings and their descendants, and
you can go ahead and use it as desired:
Then recall it like
<span style="color:{$statColor}"><xsl:value-of select="status"></span>
I hope this helps.
