Manny,

Did my answer of yesterday not appear? You aren't using XSL, as is indicated by the namespace in your stylesheet element, xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl". Really, check out the MSXML FAQ at http://www.netcrucible.com, digest it, and upgrade your processor to recognize the correct namespace, xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform". Then change your stylesheet accordingly.

Until you do this, your stylesheets will be an exercise in futility, and no one on this list will be able to help you. You are getting the error because you are using XSLT syntax in a stylesheet (and a processor) which is not XSL-conformant.

Good luck,
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>
