Body
To #1: Variables are valid within their parent element only. Which means you must put the logic inside the variable instead of "around" it: <pre><code><xsl:variable name="var"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="some_test"> <xsl:text>HEY!</xsl:text> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:text>SEE YA!</xsl:text> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:variable> </code></pre> To #2: Use parameters to transport values into templates. <pre><code><xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:variable name="var" select="'something'" />  <xsl:call-template name="search"> <xsl:with-param name="p" select="$var" /> </xsl:call-template>  <xsl:apply-templates select="xpath/to/nodes"> <xsl:with-param name="p" select="$var" /> </xsl:apply-templates> </xsl:template>  <xsl:template name="search"> <xsl:param name="p" />  </xsl:template> <-- normal template --> <xsl:template match="nodes"> <xsl:param name="p" />  </xsl:template> </code></pre> To transport a value back to the calling template, combine the above: <pre><code><xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:variable name="var"> <xsl:call-template name="age"> <xsl:with-param name="num" select="28" /> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:variable> <xsl:value-of select="$var" /> </xsl:template> <xsl:template name="age"> <xsl:param name="num" /> <xsl:value-of select="concat('You are ', $num, ' years yold!')" /> </xsl:template> </code></pre>

1. COHi there Tomalak #1: See my last comment to Scoregraphic. Just made a better example in the question. #2: The problem is not to use a variable from the main-template in the other templates. But to use a variable whos defined in the other templates in the main-template.

2. CO#1: See my other comment. BTW, your updated example #1 does not make much sense. Posting *actual* code is better than making up stuff that does not resemble your real problem. #2: See my edited answer.

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
