Hi Katharina,

If your the value of your variable can be defined with a single Xpath
expression from the root element, you could use the select attribute from
<xsl:variable> at the beginning of the template, for example :

<xsl:param name="test" select="ROOT/NODE/@attibute"/>

Hope this help,

Matthieu.

Objet :  Global variable


Hi!

I have a stylesheet with several templates in it. In every template I
need the same variable, so I think the best is to make it global! But I
have one problem with it: I do not know the value of the variable at the
beginning of the stylesheet. I get it in my first template. So in this
template I have a local variable and I need to make it global.

Is this possible?

Katharina
