RE: max value

Charly,

for the select attribute use the following:
...
<xsl:sort select="text()" data-type="number" order="descending"/>
...

sorry 'bout that, forgot that the select attribute was required (msxsml
doesn't require it, if it isn't defined, then the text node of the given
context node is assumed).


The purpose of the example-by-pattern xsl:param, was just to illustrate two
mechanisms of accomplishing the same goal.  I would think the most common
usage, would be of the named template.  Whether to implement a template by
pattern or by name is a design choice.

Thanks Jeff,
but I have the following error now
500 Servlet Exception
tmp.xsl:18: xsl:sort expects attribute `select'
also why do I need to call <xsl:param name="example-by-pattern" select="0"/>
without a template .
