Question

I have a xsl file that is grabbing variables from xml and they seem to not be able to see each other. I know it is a scope issue, I just do not know what I am doing wrong.

<xsl:template match='one'>  <xsl:variable name='varOne' select='@count' /> </xsl:template>  <xsl:template match='two'>  <xsl:if test='$varOne = 'Y''>      <xsl:value-of select='varTwo'/>  </xsl:if> </xsl:template> 

This has been simplified for here.

Any help is appreciated.

Remembering that xsl variables are immutable…

<!-- You may want to use absolute path --> <xsl:variable name='varOne' select='one/@count' />  <xsl:template match='one'> <!-- // do something -->  </xsl:template>  <xsl:template match='two'>  <xsl:if test='$varOne = 'Y''>      <xsl:value-of select='varTwo'/>  </xsl:if> </xsl:template>
