Hi Darren,

did you try to solve this problem with variables?
Maybe you can put the attrib of the layout-item in a variable and use it
for
matching the item that shall be shown.

I would try the following:

<xsl:for-each select="layout/layout-item">
        <xsl:variable name="var" select="@data_element" />
        <xsl:value-of select="../../$var" />
</xsl:for-each>

I didn't check if this works, but i had a related problem which could be
solved
this way.

best regards
Oliver
