Re: syntax question: using a variable inside format-number()

Given the current node, you then need to select via an XPath expression the value of the element that you want to format as a percent, then. You can't use the $curcat as a substitutible part of a patch expression. You'll have to select the element value you want to format explicitly. If the current node is an <assetCategory> and your trying to format an element named <percent> that is a sibling, you would do: format-number( ../percent, '#00%' ) to "walk up to the parent of the current node, then "back down" to the <percent> sibling. If the current node is already an element that contains a value, you can just do: format-number( . , '#00%' ) using a dot "." to represent the current node. ______________________________________________________________ Steve Muench, Lead XML Evangelist & Consulting Product Manager BC4J & XSQL Servlet Development Teams, Oracle Rep to XSL WG Author "Building Oracle XML Applications", O'Reilly http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/orxmlapp/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
