Re: [xsl] xsl:if @attribute + xsl:variable not working

[Alessio Mazzieri <mazzieri at umbrars dot com>]

This is an alternative solution to your problem:

<xsl:for-each select="area">
   <td>
     <xsl:attribute name="bgcolor">
       <xsl:choose>
         <xsl:when test="@position=1">
           #FF7A0
         </xsl:when>
         <xsl:otherwise>
           #FF980F
         </xsl:otherwise>
       </xsl:choose>
     </xsl:attribute>
   </td>
</xsl:for-each>

About the message error, I think that the problem is an "out-of-scope" 
matter, because both the <xsl:variable> are inside an <xsl:if> element.
Give an eye to Mickeal Kay's XSLT Programmers Reference, page 315: the 
same example! :)
