I am having difficulty updating a variable page-time-stamp in the
following snippit. The variable time-stamp is initialized from the
attribute time-stamp from the log element. Some of the page elements
(children of log) in my XML source have a time-stamp attribute, so I
want to use the time-stamp from the page for the page-time-stamp
value. I use an xsl:choose/xsl:when/xsl:otherwise combination to setup
an if/else statement to select the page-time-stamp value. When I run
this template, the page-time-stamp value never changes. I only
displays the initial time-stamp value from the log element. Can anyone
help me?
