Abhishek,

At 05:08 PM 9/10/2003, you wrote:

At the first instance it sees this
"<xsl:with-param name="HeadAlign" select="{$HeadAlign}"/>"
It says
"Invalid XPath Expression"

Yes, that'll break. Correct would be select="$HeadAlign".

While this works:
<xsl:with-param name="HeadAlign" select="Left"/>

"Left" is a valid XPath expression: it's short for child::Left (element children of the context node named "Left"). That might not be what you mean it to be, but it won't throw an error, either.

To bind the string literal "Left" to the parameter, use select="'Left'".

Cheers,
Wendell
