[xsl] RE: variable assignment and disable-output-escaping

---

---

Hi thanks for reading .
I have the following xml which is passed as a parameter to my xsl file for
transformation from a jsp .
tradingPartnerXML =
      "<select>"+
      "<option value='711'>711: Compression Disabled</option>"+
      " <option value='729'>729: Compression Enable</option>"+
      "</select>";
when I receive it the tags <  > are replaced with &lt; and &gt .
I then do the following and it looks good  .
<xsl:message>Trading partner xml is:<xsl:value-of select="$tradingPartnerXML"
disable-output-escaping="yes"/></xsl:message>
I then want to create another variable from the contents of the
tradingPartnerXML so I do the following .
<xsl:variable name="tradingPartner">
      <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">

          <xsl:copy-of select="$tradingPartnerXML"/>

      </xsl:text>
    </xsl:variable>
I have also tried other variations of this
<xsl:variable name="tp">

     <xsl:value-of select="$tradingPartnerXML"/>

  </xsl:variable>
When I create the other variable "tp" it contains the &gt; &lt; instead of <
and > which I would have expected .
I am using the xalan processor .
I have looked all over to try and find a soulution to this problem .
Ultimately I want to be able to extract the contents of the xml .
<xsl:for-each select="exsl:node-set($tp)//select/option">

           <xsl:text>Printing value</xsl:text>
           <xsl:value-of select="."/>
           <xsl:value-of select="@value"/>

  </xsl:for-each>

Thanks again for you help .If there is another soulution I would like to hear
it .
