xsl elements

how can you pass in the name of an elelemnt as a template parameter

ie

<xsl:template name ="fpml.Currency">
<xsl:param name = "name" />
<xsl:param name = "currency"/>

<xsl:element name ="$name">
<xsl:attribute name = "currencyScheme">
<xsl:value-of select ="'http://www.fpml.org/ext/iso4217-2001-08-15'"/>
</xsl:attribute>

<xsl:value-of select = "$currency"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

So as to call

<xsl:call-template name ="fpml.Currency">
<xsl:with-param name ="name" select ="'fpml:currency1'"/>
<xsl:with-param name ="currency" select ="$currency1"/>
</xsl:call-template>

<xsl:call-template name ="fpml.Currency">
<xsl:with-param name ="name" select ="'fpml:currency2'"/>
<xsl:with-param name ="currency" select ="$currency2"/>
</xsl:call-template>

thanks

I think you are looking for

Code:

<xsl:element name="{$name}">...</xsl:element>

You want <xsl:element name="{$name}">

However in the above example you would get an error unless you had already defined the "fpml" prefix elsewhere.

Google for "Attribute Value Templates" for more on how to use the {}'s.
