Ashok,
You are missing your namespace declarations and prefixes in the XSLT document.
Try -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:ml="http://www.metalex.org/1.0";>
<xsl:output indent="yes" method="xml" encoding="UTF-8"/>
<xsl:variable name="refName">
<xsl:value-of select="//ml:meta[(_at_)id='judgementNo']/@href" />
</xsl:variable>
Cheers Adam.

I am not sure what i am doing wrong ... but i am setting a global
xsl:variable which I then refer to within the template but in the
output transform the variable is always blank,
My Xslt [1] , and the Xml being transformed [2]. The original xml
file is quite big, but i have trimmed it down to demonstrate the
problem. I guess I am missing something simple :-(
(Using saxon 9)
[1] -- Xslt -- refName is always set to blank
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output indent="yes" method="xml" encoding="UTF-8"/>
<xsl:variable name="refName">
<xsl:value-of select="//meta[(_at_)id='judgementNo']/@href" />
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:element name="{node-name(.)}">
<xsl:for-each select="@*">
<xsl:attribute name="{name(.)}">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*[(_at_)name='ref']">
<metavalue>
<xsl:attribute
name="test"><xsl:value-of select="$refName"
/></xsl:attribute>
</metavalue>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
