Hi, let me clarify things.
The following select list does not come from an XML node, that's why I said
"hard coded". So I can't run through each value
to append selected="true" (or selected="selected") when a certain ID is matched.
<option value="1">News - left</option>
<option value="2">News - right</option>
<option value="3">Docu - left</option>
<option value="4">Docu - right</option>
<option value="5">Tips - left</option>
<option value="6">Tips - right</option>
<option value="7">Tickets - left</option>
<option value="8">Tickets - right</option>
<option value="9">Concerts - left</option>
<option value="10">Concerts - right</option>
<option value="11">Festivals - left</option>
<option value="12">Festivals - right</option>
<option value="13">Fun - left</option>
<option value="14">Fun - right</option>
<option value="15">Games - left</option>
<option value="16">Games - right</option>
<option value="17">Ringtones - left</option>
<option value="18">Ringtones - right</option>
Using XLT I retrieve an ID and I need to append selected="true" to one of the
above options where the ID matches. I tried
the following, but got the error: "match pattern contains a variable reference"
<xsl:variable name="nr" select="hoticon_nr"/> <!--here I retrieve the ID from
an XML node-->
<xsl:template match="option[(_at_)value=$nr]">
<option value="{$nr}" select="selected">
<xsl:copy-of select="@*|node()"/>
</option>
</xsl:template>
Grtz,
Barton

Your question isn't really very clear but I guess something like this:
a) you appear to be generating html or xhtml in which case you don't
want selected="true" as that would be invalid, you want
selected="selected".
b) take the identity transformation (from the XSLT rec, or the faq or
archives of this list) then add
<xsl:template match="option[(_at_)value=3]">
<option select="selected">
<xsl:copy-of select="@*|node()"/>
</option>
</xsl:template>
