Re: value of the value of a variable

2004-11-23 08:35:04
Hi Hardy,

In "this one" in the template, $mytag contains the literal
"full_name" - what I want is the *text value* of the full_name tag,
but this isn't doing it for me. How do I get that?

Use:

  <xsl:value-of select="*[name() = $mytag]" />

i.e. select the child element whose name is the same as the value held
in the $mytag variable.

Of course this assumes you're not worried about namespace-awareness.

Cheers,

Jeni
