Get media problem

XSLT
hi

I'm trying to fetch images from blogposts and and put the lates images on my startpage. I'm using umbraco 4.6.1 and I have some problems regarding GetMedia. here is the code:
```
<xsl:variable name="mymediapicker">
<xsl:value-of select="./data [@alias='mymediapicker']"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="media" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($mymediapicker, 0)" />
<xsl:if test="$media">
<img src="{$media/umbracoFile}" alt="{$media/altText}" />
</xsl:if>
```
the value of mymediapicker is for ex 1093 and there is no problem to print that. When I use mymediapicker in GetMedia I get an xslt error on page.
If I replace $mymediapicker with my id 1093 everytihing works fine.

Why can´t I put $mymediapicker in GetMedia?

You have to check either mymediapicker contains value or not.

<xsl:variable name="mymediapicker">
    <xsl:value-of select="./data [@alias='mymediapicker']"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:if test="string($mymediapicker) !=''">
   <img src="{umbraco.library:GetMedia($mymediapicker, 0)/umbracoFile}" alt="" />
</xsl:if>

      <xsl:if test="mymediapicker &gt; 0">
        <img src="{umbraco.library:GetMedia(number(mymediapicker), 0)/umbracoFile}" alt="umbraco.library:GetMedia(number(mymediapicker)/altText" />
