Easy Question: assign variable to a value-of select

[HerbAndEdnaWeinstein]

Hi, brand new to XSL.

I can print the string I'm after with this:

<td><xsl:value-of select="node/subnode"/></td>

But, if I try to assign a variable like this, it returns an error:

<xsl:variable name="GetNode" value-of select="node/subnode" />

Is this a simple syntax error?

Thanks!!!
