Re: [xsl] xsl:variable question

Hi Long,

As your code has it, your test should not work in either place, since the 
variable is not in scope when it is referenced in the xsl:if.

Are you sure the variable declaration is inside the <xsl:template 
match="/"> *both* times (not at the top level in the one that's working)?

Cheers,
Wendell
