assign XSLT variable to a wml variable

Hi,

  I have an XSLT variable and I need to assign it to WML variable or WML table attribute like this:

<xsl:template match="content/table">
<xsl:variable name="columnCount" select="count(columns/column"/>

  <table columns="$columnCount">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="row"/>
  </table>
</xsl:template>

Is the above possible?

or

<xsl:template match="content/table">
<xsl:variable name="columnCount" select="count(columns/column"/>

<setvar name="cCount" value="$columnCount"/>
  <table columns="$cCount">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="row"/>
  </table>
</xsl:template>

In both codes, all I want to do is getting the number of columns from xml as a variable and assign to wml table columns attribute.

Could anyone suggest me, how can I do it?

Thanking you very much in advance,

Best Regards,
Aruna.G

You'll be wanting to use the <xsl:attribute> tag then.

Code:

<table>
  <xsl:attribute name="columns" select="$columnCount"/>
...

An alternative is to use Attribute Value Templates.

Code:

<table columns="{$columnCount}">

Note, in both cases you don't even need the temporary variable.

Code:

<table>
  <xsl:attribute name="columns" select="count(columns/column)"/>
...
