Hi, I'm having an issue with some XSLT that I'm hoping someone can help me with.

I have Gold Sponsors, and Silver Sponsors, each under their respective parent nodes, and I'm looking to randomly choose one of the them from the entire list.

So:-

- Gold Sponsors

----Sponsor 1

----Sponsor 2

- Silver Sponsors

----Sponsor 3

----Sponsor 4

----Sponsor 5

Now my code to figure out an index (from the overall number of sponsors) looks like this:-

<xsl:variable name="numberOfGoldSponsors" select="count($goldSponsorNode/*[@isDoc])"/>
<
 
 
xsl:variable name="numberOfSilverSponsors" select="count($silverSponsorNode/*[@isDoc])"/>
<
 
 
xsl:variable name="totalNumberOfSponsors" select="($numberOfGoldSponsors + $numberOfSilverSponsors)" />
<
 
 
xsl:variable name="randomNodeIndex" select="floor(Exslt.ExsltMath:random() * $totalNumberOfSponsors) + 1"/>

What I want to do now is select a specific node, either from the gold or the silver sponsors, depending on the value of the randomNodeIndex. I was hoping to set a variable to be my random node, and work with that by passing it into my template, but I've had no luck.

<xsl:variable name="randomNode">
    <xsl:choose>
       <
 
 
xsl:when test="$randomNodeIndex > $numberOfGoldSponsors">
       <!--
 
 
 Get a silver sponsor -->
    <
 
 
xsl:value-of select="$silverSponsorNode/*[@isDoc][position() = ($randomNodeIndex- $numberOfGoldSponsors)]"/>
    </
 
 
xsl:when>
  <
 
 
xsl:otherwise>
     <!--
 
 
 Get a gold sponsor -->
      <
 
 
xsl:value-of select="$goldSponsorNode/*[@isDoc][position() = $randomNodeIndex]"/>
   </
 
 
xsl:otherwise>
    </
 
 
xsl:choose>
</
 
 
xsl:variable>
 
<
 
 
xsl:apply-templates mode="sponsorImage" select="$randomNode" />

Is there a way to set my variable to be my random sponsor, or do I have to call my template directly within the choose statement?

Cheers,

Sean
