    How to use variable as part of select statement

    Hi

    I have a nodeset ($content) from where I want to select an element by using a variable ($element).

    I can get this line to work if I hardcode it 

    <xsl:value-of select="$content/Brochure"/>

    If I use the variable like this

    <xsl:variable name="element" select="Brochure"/>
    <xsl:value-of select="$content/$element"/>

    it fails to save with the message "Unexpted token '$' in expression

    Can this be done somehow?

    Regards Bo

    I think you can use something like:

    $content/* [name() = $element]
