 I'm trying to pass a param to a template as follows <xsl:apply-templates select="option">
<xsl:with-param name="selected" select="@value" />
</xsl:apply-templates><xsl:template match="option">
<xsl:param name="selected" />
<xsl:copy><xsl:value-of select="$selected" /></xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>However, no output is sent to the result tree. I am using the Sablotron processor (inside PHP) and I am able to get a result using call-template (with-param), but this is not the ideal solution. Is this a missing feature in Sablotron (couldn't find the answer on their web site) or is it something I'm doing wrong in XSL? Ted Stresen-Reuter PS: the _real_ problem follows, but for those of you who aren't up for reading the whole thing, I'm including it here, after the main question... Basically, I've got an XHTML document with a FORM element. I'm trying to get the POST data from a form submission (which I've converted into an XML format) into the value attributes of the FORM element. Yes, I'm trying to completely separate presentation from logic. I'm trying to use the document() XPath function to walk through the POST data looking for fields whose names match the fields in the XHTML document. When I get to a SELECT element, though, I need to then get the OPTION elements and find the one whose value matches the text() node of the corresponding POST data element so that I can set its "selected" attribute to true (or "selected", as is the case with XHTML). (aside: I can hardly believe how hard it is to describe this...) Unfortunately, it would appear that the Sablotron processor doesn't pass params when calling templates via apply-templates. Any suggestions for a workaround or am I just missing something??? XML Document <html> <head> .... <select name="whatever"> <option value="one" label="First Choice">First Choice</option> <option value="two" label="Second Choice"> Second Choice</option> <option value="three" label="Third Choice"> Third Choice</option> </select> .... </html> XSL Document (... standard stuff ) <xsl:template match="select"> <xsl:for-each select="document($source)/row/col"> <!-- $source is a file consisting of one <rows> element followed by one <row> element with multiple <col> children elements where every <col> element is not empty --> <xsl:if test="@name = $fieldName"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$fieldType = 'select'"> <xsl:apply-templates select="option"> <xsl:with-param name="selected" select="text()" /> </xsl: apply-templates> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:value-of select="text()" /> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:if> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="option">
<xsl:param name="selected" />
<xsl:if test="@value = $selected">
<xsl:attribute name="selected">selected</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:if>
