If I use '{$thead_id}', so I get in the output this as string and not my id.
anything inside {} should be evaluated as an Xpath expression, and in
this case that should mean expanding the variable reference.
Either you didn't do what you said or there is a bug in your xslt system
or I am wrong
can you post a small example?
