Hi,

    I'm trying to take variable value in for loop but it's not working for me. My code is like this

<xsl:variable name="xTag" select="xxxx" />

<xsl:for-each select="$xTag">
 ......
 ......
</xsl:for-each>

I'm getting this error:
Reference to variable or parameter 'xTag' must evaluate to a node list.


Thanks In Advance

Hi,

You say the error is "Reference to variable or parameter 'xTag' must evaluate to a node list" however your post does not show any input XML and your variable says to select="xxxx".

I would suggest to post some XML and the what you are trying to select in your variable.

Hi,

My XML is

     <rowhead title="Name" tag="rowhead/Result/five">
     <Result>
     <five>
        <row id="1" name="NA" />
        <row id="1" name="NA" />
     </five>
     </Result>
     </rowhead>

     In XSL Page i need to take the tag in for loop like this

     <xsl:variable name="xTag" select="rowhead/@tag" />

     <xsl:for-each select="$xTag">
         ......
         ......
     </xsl:for-each>

     but i'm getting error when i run the page.

     Thanks for help.

You appear to be trying to evaluate the XPath contained in @tag. This is not possible in standard XSLT without using an extension such as saxon:evaluate or a scripted function in Microsoft's offerings. However the error message seems odd as the variable does contain anode-set.
