What you can do is have arbitrarily complex expressions in your variable initialisation, where some tricky checks are performed. Of course the contents of the variable are a result-tree-fragment, so you can't pretend they're a nodeset later on, but if you just want to store a boolean or a string, this isn't a problem. <xsl:variable name="really_complex"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="some_complex_set_of_conditions"> <xsl:value-of select="'1'" /> </xsl:when> ... <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:value-of select="'0'" /> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:variable> Hope this helps. -- Warren Hedley XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
