Thanks for responding, Julien. I understand this example and have used it in my application in other areas, but for this specific use it doesn't seem to work for me. I would need session:getxml to work like a xsl:value-of tag. It seems that I can only get session:getxml to work within it's own tag (ie. <name><session:getxml.../></name>) If I try to use it within an <xsl:variable> or <xsl:attribute> tag, it doesn't retrieve the value for me.
In summary, I need an xsl stylesheet which will retrieve the color, which I store in the session, and place it in the bgcolor attribute of the body tag of the html. This stylesheet has to be self-contained, because I want to include it in other stylesheets to save duplicating code. I have all the pieces working with the exception of retrieving the color from the session because of my session:getxml problem. I can pass the color along from another stylesheet preceding the main as a work-around, but that might be too "clunky". Any suggestions would be appreciated. Sorry for this thread going so long.
