Sorry about that - I must pay more attention when reading and replying

If you need to use a variable instead of an attribute, try this (don't
forget the '$'):
<fo:table background-color="{$bakColor}" />
Or if you need the attribute to be the result of something more
complicated
like a choose statement, you can use <xsl:attribute>:
<fo:table>
<xsl:attribute name="background-color">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="position() mod 2 = '1'">white</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>grey</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:attribute>
good luck,
Matt

Subject: setting a property with value of a variable
Hi
I want a set of tables with alternating background colours. To do
this I
intend to set the background of the table with the value of a
variable which
will contain "white" or "grey". How do I do that?. Presently my .XSL
contains this -
<xsl:template match="record">
<xsl:variable name="bakColor" select="yellow"/>
<fo:table background-color='<xsl:value-of select="bakColor"/>\'>
<fo:table-column column-width="20mm"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="20mm"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="20mm"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="20mm"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="20mm"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="20mm"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="20mm"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="20mm"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="20mm"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="20mm"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="20mm"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="20mm"/>
<fo:table-body>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:table-body>
</fo:table>
</xsl:template>
But I am getting this error when I try to apply it to my XML file -
