Hello.

I have set a top level variable for a colour using

<xsl:variable name="my_colour">
<xsl:value-of select="yellow"/>
</xsl:variable>

I have a table defined and I want this variable to be used a s the background colour for a cell so i have added an attribute for background-color witrhthin the block for the cell

<xsl:attribute name="background-color">
<xsl:value-of select="$my_colour"/>
</xsl:attribute>

When I view the fo output it does have the attraibute added but it is null like the following

background-color=""

If I manually add in a colour between the "" and trnasform it then it is fine. Does anyoen know why the fo is not generated to include my colour?

Thanks,

Colm

Hello,

Please note that you should enclose the color within apostrophes in order to be evaluated as a string. Otherwise, the <xsl:value-of> element is trying to extract the value of an XML element called yellow.
Let us know if you need further assistance.
