RE: how to replace a node with a variable

I see "customers" and I see "CUSTOMER" but I don't see "customer". What
exactly did you want to generalize?

The answer is probably along the lines *[local-name()=$param]

Your uses of "//" look pretty haphazard in this stylesheet; and you can
replace the predicate [count(child::*) > 0] by [*].

Subject: [xsl] how to replace a node with a variable


Hi,

I need to change the following xslt so instead of the hard-coded
'customer' I can use in the pass in variable. Is there an 
easy way to do
this?

I'd appreciate any suggestions.
