Re: child node using variable

---

---

<father>
	<older_son>Bob</older_son>
	<younger_son>Peter</younger_son>
</father>

I want to be able to deal with a child of the node "father" on the fly
(using a variable), some thing like:
<xsl:variable name="son" select="'older_son'"/>
<xsl:value-of select="father/{$son}"/>

I found a solution, this seems to work:
<xsl:variable name="son" select="'older_son'"/>
<xsl:value-of select="father/*[name()=$son]"/>
