Manny,

Notwithstanding any contrary claims you may have been subjected to, according to your open tag, <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl">, you are not using XSL. Thus you cannot expect your processor to recognize or respect XSL syntax. Check out http://www.netcrucible.com/xslt/msxml-faq.htm.

Cheers,
Wendell

Anybody!

Can anyone tell me why I get the message shown in the email subject line?
In the XSL snippet below, my goal is to pass in the value for the the
parameter "filter" based on selections made from an HTML page and have the
XSL file select and transform a sub-set of XML nodes to fill in the
"innerHTML" property of a DIV tag. The XSL file works without the
<xsl:param> tag:

<xsl:apply-templates select="//SECTION[@Id='Terms']" />

but as soon as I try to introduce <xsl:param ... it dies.

I haven't figured out how I'm going to set the parameter from the HTML page
just yet since I can't get the parameter to work when it is hard coded.  Any
insight into how to do that would also be welcome.

XSL file:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl">
<xsl:param name="filter" select="//SECTION[@Id='Terms']" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
  <xsl:apply-templates select="$filter" />
</BODY>
</HTML>
</xsl:template>
  .
  I have templates in this section
  .
</xsl:stylesheet>
