Here is the way I would solve it.
Regards,
Gerard

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
                xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
                <!-- / Template -->

<xsl:variable name="nexttemplate">1</xsl:variable>

<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>
        Invoking <xsl:value-of select="$nexttemplate"/>
        <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="$nexttemplate = 'buildbody'">
          <xsl:call-template name="buildbody"/>
        </xsl:when>
        <xsl:when test="$nexttemplate = ''">
          <xsl:call-template name="defaulttemplate"/>
        </xsl:when>
        </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="defaulttemplate">
In defaulttemplate
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="buildbody">
<BODY>
</BODY>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Hello,

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 (non-working) example of what I am trying to do:


<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="$nexttemplate"/>
        <xsl:call-template name="{$nexttemplate}"/>
</xsl: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
