Some more fun with for-each

[dooberry]

I'm a bit bemused (see above!!).I'm trying to restrict a <for-each> element based on the value a user enters in a particular node.I've tried the following:

<xsl:template match="selectfilter" ><xsl:variable name="var1" select="elementpath" /><select name="filteredselect" ><xsl:for-each select="filterselection[filterelement={$var1}]"><option><xsl:value-of select="element" /></option></xsl:for-each></select></xsl:template>

I keep getting an error because of the variable reference, if someone could tell me where I'm being a little bit *naff* I'd appreciate it.Dooberry scented eau de toilette.

I fixed it:I had to get rid of the braces {} around the variable in the filter condition.I also made an explicit reference to the document containing the value I needed to filter on so it ended up something like this:

<xsl:variable name="var1" select="Document('userdata.xml')//root/element" /><select id="dropdownbox">  <xsl:for-each select="Document('listoptions.xml')//root/optionelement[filterelement=$var1]">    <option>      <xsl:attribute name="value">        <xsl:value-of select="optionvalueelement" />      </xsl:attribute>      <xsl:value-of select="descriptionelement" />    </option>  </xsl:for-each></select>

This allowed me to use one file as a set of options for a select control and another file to control which of the options appeared, based on what the user had already entered. I'm nearly ready to start scripting this to write back to a database now so thanks to everyone who has helped with these posts. I hope any code I've submitted has been useful - feel free to give me any feedback.As we say in the West Midlands "Taraah a bit bab!!"Dooberry.
