Re: same xpath, different results? (more explination)

Ahhh, ok... so how would i go about setting my situation up...
My situation explaination:
I want to check a date, and send a param (either rate, or secondaryRate
depending on a dateEntered node) and I have a javascript function checking
the date.

./products/product[id=../../commissions/commission[earnerId=$earnerId]/produ
ct/productId]/count - gives me (1,450) and I want to be able to pass the
paramaters for secondary rate along with it... (0.15,0.05)

Sorry for my lack of explination before... Hope this is a little more
clear..

Thanks again!

    <xsl:variable name="totalComm">

       <xsl:when test="js:overYear(string(../../dateEntered)) = 'false'">
        <!-- xsl:value-of

       </xsl:otherwise>
      </xsl:choose>
     </xsl:variable>
     <xsl:call-template name="commTotal">
      <xsl:with-param name="cnt"
select="./products/product[id=../../commissions/commission[earnerId=$earnerI
d]/product/productId]/count" />
      <xsl:with-param name="baseCst" select="$whichRate" />
     </xsl:call-template>
    </xsl:variable>

In the above code, I am trying to pick a different rate based on a
"dateEntred" node.  I am not sure why, but the variable $whichRate will
always have only 1 element but the paramater cnt will have a variable number
of elements... The variable number of elements is what I am going for, but
it doesn't seem to work in the first test.  The reason I put the same xpath
in all of them was just for testing purposes.  The reason I am doing this is
trying to get either a "rate" or "secondaryRate" depending on the
"dateEntered".

Thanks for any help!
