Hi everyone,

1. I have a simple xml doc:

<root>
        <thing>
                <title>Jelly</title>
                <wobblyness>high</wobblyness>
        </thing>
        <thing>
                <title>Brick</title>
                <wobblyness>low</wobblyness>
        </thing>
</root>

2. Within a stylesheet I have a variable:

<xsl:variable name="selector" value="'title'/>

3. I want to select the XML tag with the name in the variable $selector

For example the XPath:

/root/thing/$selector
needs to translate to:
/root/thing/title

Then, if I change the value of $selector:

<xsl:variable name="selector" value="'wobblyness'/>

then the path

/root/thing/$selector
would translate to
/root/thing/wobblyness

The Problem: I can't figure how to do this kind of de-referencing. Does 
anyone have an example or have I missed a very obvious point?

Thanks in advance,

Phil
