The following XSL works fine with the Lotus XSL 2.0.1 implementation of Xalan:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"; xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan"; extension-element-prefixes="xalan"> <xsl:output encoding="utf-8" method="html" indent="yes"/> <!--...some other templates...--> <xsl:template match="input"> <xsl:element name="input"> <xsl:variable name="varname"><xsl:value-of select="concat(local-name(..),'_',local-name())"/></xsl:variable> <xsl:attribute name="type">text</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="name"><xsl:value-of select="$varname"/></xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="size"><xsl:value-of select="@size"/></xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="value"><xsl:value-of select="xalan:evaluate($varname)"/></xsl:attribute> <xsl:if test="@maxsize != ''"> <xsl:attribute name="maxsize"><xsl:value-of select="@maxsize"/></xsl:attribute> </xsl:if> </xsl:element> </xsl:template> I'd now like to start playing with translets so I've brought up Xalan 2.2.D11 in the same environment (Websphere on NT ) running the same style sheets. I've found that the line that invokes the xalan:evaluate causes a empty HTML body to be output. Commenting it out allows everything to proceed as one would expect. I will note that the results of the evaluate will be to an empty / non-existent node... Peter Hunsberger
