RE: Passing in parameter used in matching

hello,

i think the probleme is that the path to you're test is :
ReturnResultSet/LoanSearchSet/Loan/LoanBorrowerSet/Borrower[contains(LastNam
e,
$nameSearchValue)]\">

this is a complete path, refering to the root.
so the xsl is probably always catching the first xml value : Smith

Why don't you try to match on root with a first template and then call a
second template wich match on
<LastName> ?

something like :
<xsl:param name="nameSearchValue">
</xsl:param>

<xsl:template match="/">
	<xsl:apply-template
match="ReturnResultSet/LoanSearchSet/Loan/LoanBorrowerSet/Borrower"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Borrower[contains(LastName, $nameSearchValue)]>
	<!-- Here are the actions to do -->
</xsl:template>

i didn't try it yet, but i think it should work.
see u.

Objet :  Passing in parameter used in matching


One of my pages has a field that allows the user to enter a last name and
then click the "search" button.  The results should display all loans that
have a borrower with a last name that matches the criteria entered by the
user (partial match).  The name entered by the user is passed as a parameter
to the XSL stylesheet.  With the XSL below, the "No results were found" is
displayed on the search results page, even when I enter a name (or partial
name) that matches one of the borrower's last names in the XML.  What am I
doing wrong?

XSL:

<xsl:param name="nameSearchValue">
</xsl:param>

<xsl:template match='/'>

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when
test=\"ReturnResultSet/LoanSearchSet/Loan/LoanBorrowerSet/Borrower[contains(
LastName,
$nameSearchValue)]\">

...xsl here creates table of loans with borrower last name matching
criteria...

</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:text>No results were found.</xsl:text>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

</xsl:template>


XML:

<ReturnResultSet>
	<LoanSearchSet>
		<Loan>
			<LoanNumber>123</LoanNumber>
			<LoanBorrowerSet>
				<Borrower>
					<LastName>Smith</LastName>
				</Borrower>
			</LoanBorrowerSet>
		</Loan>
		<Loan>
			<LoanNumber>456</LoanNumber>
			<LoanBorrowerSet>
				<Borrower>
					<LastName>Jones</LastName>
				</Borrower>
			</LoanBorrowerSet>
		</Loan>
		<Loan>
			<LoanNumber>789</LoanNumber>
			<LoanBorrowerSet>
				<Borrower>
					<LastName>Stills</LastName>
				</Borrower>
			</LoanBorrowerSet>
		</Loan>
		...
	</LoanSearchSet>
</ReturnResultSet>

Thanks,
Katie
