Hi Sajid

If you want to create the div-element in your template, and then use a macro to insert the id attribute, you should be able to do it like this:

In your template:
```
<div <umbraco:Macro Alias="SetContentID" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>>
```
Then in your SetContentID xslt-file you should return something like this:
```
id="default"
```
You could create some different scenarios in your xslt-file using eg. a <xsl:choose> to determine what the id should be. Something like this:
```
<xsl:choose>
   <xsl:when test="something here">id="alternativeID"</xsl:when>
   <xsl:otherwise>id="default"</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
```

Thanks Guys,

Kim your method works good.

heres my xslt:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [ <!ENTITY nbsp " "> ]>
<xsl:stylesheet
version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:msxml="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
xmlns:umbraco.library="urn:umbraco.library" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltCommon="urn:Exslt.ExsltCommon" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes="urn:Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltMath="urn:Exslt.ExsltMath" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions="urn:Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltStrings="urn:Exslt.ExsltStrings" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltSets="urn:Exslt.ExsltSets"
exclude-result-prefixes="msxml umbraco.library Exslt.ExsltCommon Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes Exslt.ExsltMath Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions Exslt.ExsltStrings Exslt.ExsltSets ">
<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/backgroundImageID"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

here's how i used in html:

<div id="<umbraco:Macro Alias='SetContentID' runat='server'></umbraco:Macro>">

I set backgroundImageID the on the doc type.

many thanks guys

Good to hear that you got i solved Sajid.

But if your only want to output a textstring from the backoffice on the current page, you don't have to go through all the work of creating a XSLT-file/macro first. Then you can just do like this:
```
<div id="<umbraco:Item field='backgroundImageID' runat='server'></umbraco:Item>">
```
