Message: [QUOTE="Justine Hlista, post: 771693"] I'm using xalan-j_2_6_0 and trying to get an example from Michael Kay's book to work: <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:variable name="rainbow"> <color>red</color> <color>blue</color> <color>green</color> </xsl:variable> <xsl:for-each select="$rainbow/color"> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> Both XSLTC and XSLT generate errors when they encounter the XPath expression in the select attribute. I cannot get XSLTC or XSLT to accept any expression that qualifies a variable in a select statement. Am I trying to do something that is strictly forbidden here? Am I misunderstanding what Michael Kay's example was supposed to do? Any help is greatly appreciated!! Justine [/QUOTE]
