Declare a empty variable

I wrote :- 

<xsl:variable name="cAddress" select=""></xsl:variable>

I don't want to assign any value here, I want to assign later. Is this possible?

No it is not possible. In XSLT, variables are immutable. You cannot assign - or reassign - a value to an existing variable. Technically, you can declare an empty variable as:

<xsl:variable name="myVar"/>

but you won't be able to do anything with it later.

If you want to pass a parameter to a stylesheet or to a template at runtime, use:

<xsl:param name="cAddress"/>

or:

<xsl:param name="cAddress" select="'default value'"/>
