Why won't this work?

I’m trying to load a variable as the value for a custom field in a <txp:article_custom> tag but it is not working, and idea why?

<txp:variable name="child" value="<txp:custom_field name='related_products' />" />
<txp:article_custom related_products="<txp:variable name='child' />" sort="title desc" limit="999">
<h1>THIS WORKS</h1>
</txp:article_custom>

Thanks for any help,
Phil

You pasted this? Double quotes vs. single quotes.

Ah ha! Yes, I have the ‘ and “ round the wrong way in some attributes. It works now with:

<txp:variable name="child" value='<txp:custom_field name="related_products" />' />
<txp:article_custom related_products='<txp:variable name="child" />' sort="title desc" limit="999">
<h1>THIS WORKS</h1>
</txp:article_custom>

Cheers uli.
