Re: Template Select using a param

well that wouldn't even reach the xsl system as it is not well formed
XML and would be rejected by the XMl parser.

You could try

<xsl:value-of select="{$path}"/>"

{} syntax being the replacement for value-of in attributes.

But it doesn't work as value-of (or {} ) return a _string_ not an
expression.

saxon has an extension function to evaluate an expression
as a string, but do you need that here?

why can't you make the parameter the node list selected rather than the
path for selecting it:

<xsl:param name="path" select="
	/test/ROWSET/ROW[@*[name(.)=current()/@id]]/*[name(.)=current()]"/>

(or something like that)

<xsl:value-of select="$path"/>
