Hi,
How do I construct the name of a variable
dynamically.
I have an xsl file (test.xsl) which has an include
file.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0" >
<xsl:include href="../include.xsl"/>
...
...

There are two variables defined in the include.xsl
file, called name1 and name2.
Now I want to use the value of these two variables
dynamically in 'test.xsl'.
I did something like,
<xsl:value-of select="concat('name',$i)" /> where $i
will be 1 and 2 in different conditions.
but this only displays name1 and name2 instead of the
values held in them.
How do I construct the name of the variable to be
used, dynamically. Or am I missing the whole plot
here. I'm a beginner.
You can't do that in XSL.What you can do is:
<xsl:variable name="myVar">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$something='foo'">
<xsl:value-of select="$something"/>
</
<xsl:when test="$something-else='boo'">
<xsl:value-of select="$something-else"/>
</
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$default"/>
</
</
</
make sense?
best,

Thanks for your help.
