Hi all,
 
I want to use the XML/XSLT function to create a custom tag that will extend the functionality of the <select> tag.  What I want to do is have a tag like the following:
 
<extended:select name="some_name" size="1">
    some_sql_statement
</extended:select>
 
The idea is that the some_sql_statement will populate the option(s) for the select tag.  Seems straight forward right? 
 
I have been able to get it to work if some_sql_statement does not require interpretation, i.e. if some_sql_statement is a literal.  I cannot get it working if I want to include a variable or a reference in some_sql_statement.  In other words, this works
 
    SELECT col_1 from table
 
but this does not:
 
    SELECT $Session->{column} FROM table
 
How can I interpret the content/body of a custom tag so that I can then pass it properly to the DB interface.  I am probably missing something easy here.
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Chris.
