XSL Drop Down Box

[Jyme]

Im trying to compare 2 elements..if they are equal Id like to have the "selected" attribute added to the option tag for the drop down list..the tags are infoscreening and screeningid...heres what I have so far, which doesnt work...

<xsl:element name="select">
<xsl:element name="option"></xsl:element>
<xsl:for-each select="./wholist/who">
<xsl:element name="option">
<xsl:if test="infoscreening = screeningid">
<xsl:attribute name="selected">selected</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:attribute name="value"><xsl:value-of select="screeningid"/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="name"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:element>

nevermind I figured it out..use an xslarameter element outside the template

<xslaram name="infoscreening"><xsl:value-of select="conscreening/infoscreening" /></xslaram>

<xsl:element name="select">
<xsl:element name="option">
<xsl:attribute name="value">0</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
<xsl:for-each select="./wholist/who">
<xsl:element name="option">
<xsl:if test="screeningid = $infoscreening">
<xsl:attribute name="selected">selected</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:attribute name="value"><xsl:value-of select="screeningid"/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="name"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:element>

You could do it a lot more concisely:

<select>
  <option value="0"/>
  <xsl:for-each select="wholist/who">
    <option value="{screeningid}">
      <xsl:if test="screeningid = ../../conscreening/infoscreening">
        <xsl:attribute name="selected">selected</xsl:attribute>
      </xsl:if>
    </option>
  </xsl:for-each>
</select>

Oops:

<select>
  <option value="0"/>
  <xsl:for-each select="wholist/who">
    <option value="{screeningid}">
      <xsl:if test="screeningid = ../../conscreening/infoscreening">
        <xsl:attribute name="selected">selected</xsl:attribute>
      </xsl:if>
      <xsl:value-of select="name"/>
    </option>
  </xsl:for-each>
</select>
