 >> Is it possible to call a template and pass in as a parameter the name of
the template you would like the called template to call?
Here's a previously posted answer to an almost identical question:
<previous_answer>
Can't be done with call-template, except by an xsl:choose instruction that
lists all the possibilities.
You could achieve the effect with apply-templates with a bit of deviousness.
Change your named template from
<xsl:template name="xyz">
to
<xsl:template name="xyz" match="xsl:template[@name='xyz']"/>
and call it like this:
<xsl:variable name="tname" select="'xyz'"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="document('')/*/xsl:template[@name=$tname]"/>
However, this will change the current node and node list; if the named
template needs these, they'll have to be passed as parameters.
I suspect if you go back to the original problem, there is a better solution
than this.

so, in your case, the xsl would look like this:
<xsl:template match="/">
<HTML>
<xsl:call-template name="buildpage">
<xsl:with-param name="nexttemplate">buildbody</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</HTML>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="buildpage">
<xsl:param name="nexttemplate">defaulttemplate</xsl:param>
<xsl:value-of select="$nexttemplate"/>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="document('')/*/xsl:template[@name=$nexttemplate]"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="buildbody" match="xsl:template[@name='buildbody']">
<BODY>
</BODY>
</xsl:template>

Subject: xsl:call-template question
Hello,
Here's a (non-working) example of what I am trying to do:
<!-- / Template -->
<xsl:template match="/">
<HTML>
<xsl:call-template name="buildpage">
??????? <xsl:with-param name="nexttemplate">buildbody</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</HTML>
</xsl:template>
<!-- buildpage Template -->
<xsl:template name="buildpage">
??????? <xsl:param name="nexttemplate">defaulttemplate</xsl:param>
??????? <xsl:value-of select="$nexttemplate"/>
??????? <xsl:call-template name="{$nexttemplate}"/>
</xsl:template>
<!-- buildbody Template -->
<xsl:template name="buildbody">
<BODY>?
</BODY>
</xsl:template>
I get the error "No named template "{$nexttemplate}" found" when the line
<xsl:call-template name="{$nexttemplate}"/>
is processed.? I am able to get the value of $nexttemplate though...
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
Joni
