there is none,
sorry to say that this is a fundamental thing with XSLT, variables are
constant, they don't get set again....uhhh u say ?? its true, and another
thing is u have to watch the scope of a variable.... in terms of the current
context of processing.
since i cant see your existing xslt i cant give u any advice....
but first i would suggest getting a good book or going to the faq (
www.dpawson.co.uk ) or the XSLT spec at www.w3.org to get some basics under
your belt.
chow, jim fuller
