Subject: child node using variable
From: "xsl list" <xsl_list@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2000 12:46:05 EDT

<father>
	<older_son>Bob</older_son>
	<younger_son>Peter</younger_son>
</father>

I want to be able to deal with a child of the node "father" on the fly (using a variable), some thing like: <xsl:variable name="son" select="'older_son'"/> <xsl:value-of select="father/{$son}"/>

Can I do that?
