Hi,
Attribute value template as it reads is used when you try to give a value to the atribute. for example, If you are forming an xml element (or HTML for instance) and you want to populate the value of the attribute, then you make use of attribute value templates.
for instance. you want to form an element <person id = "xxx"/>
and if the value xxx is coming from xml , for instance from an attribute called id of an element called candidate..then you may do something along the lines of..
<xsl:template match "candidate">
<xsl:variable name = "person-id" select = "@id">
<person id = "{$person-id}"/>
<!-- or .. <person id = "{@id}"/>
</xsl:template>
But when you just want to output a variable, you can straight away write <xsl:value-of select = "@id"/>
You dont need any attribute value template for the requirement you have given.
one more thing.. you dont need a '.' to get to the context node's children..
in other words.. './@name' in your case is same as '@name'

OK, So now i have the following non-functioning template:
<xsl:template match="sub"> <xsl:variable name="name" select="./@name"/> <xsl:value-of select="{$name}"/> </xsl:template>
What I am trying to accomplish is extracting a value from the underlying XML, and then pulling a value from an xsl:variable with the same name as the data that came from the XML.
Any ideas? :)
