Hi,

I'm trying to set the font colour and background colour in HTML based
on an XSL condition a la:

<xsl:variable name="font">
  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="SOME TEST">
      <fontcolour>Red</fontcolour>
      <bgcolour>Blue</bgcolour>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
      <fontcolour>Black</fontcolour>
      <bgcolour>White</bgcolour>
    </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>
<td bgcolor="{$font/bgcolour}">
  <font color="{$font/fontcolour}">
    TEXT
  </font>
</td>

However, I get the error: "Reference to variable or parameter 'font'
must evaluate to a node list."

I get it because $font is a Result Tree Fragment.

Is there a way to get the functionality I want without using a
processor dependent function like msxsl:node-set(rtf)?

As a work-around, I'm currently using two separate variables for
fontcolour and bgcolour complete with their own condition statements.
Obviously, it is very ugly and I would really appreciate any
suggestions you have.

Thanks a million,
John
