Hello, i have a problem with using predefined variable in path. I think it's my syntax...
Mb someone know's how make it work?

Code:

<xsl:template name="makeField">
<xsl:param name="FieldType" />
<xsl:param name="FieldName" />
<xsl:param name="FieldCaption" />

<input type="text" name="{$FieldName}[min]" size="4" value="{//page/selected/$FieldName/@min}" class="tx"/>
</xsl:template>

Variables can only be used in XPath in place of a value, not in place of an arbitrary part of the expression text. (They are like variables in Java or C#, not like variables in a shell script.)

So you want

page/selected/*[name()=$FieldName]/@min
