Re: [xsl] How can I use a variable out of it scope ?

["frank Stein" <freeposte at hotmail dot com>]

I see.
<xsl:template match="Level_1">

	<xsl:variable name="my_var">
		<xsl:for-each select="Level_2">
			<xsl:value-of select="./@Name"/>
		 </xsl:for-each>
	</xsl:variable>

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Level_2">

	<xsl:variable name="my_var">
		<xsl:for-each select="Level_2">
			<xsl:value-of select="./@Name"/>
		 </xsl:for-each>
	</xsl:variable>
</xsl:template>
