Re: Can not convert #STRING to a NodeList! Error..

This declares an xsl:param element named "labelsfile", whose type is not
node-set.

Therefore, any attempt to use this as a node-set (e.g. by specifying it as
the value of the "select" attribute of xsl:for-each) will cause a
compile-time error.

The solution is to declare the xsl:param in such a way so that its type will
also be specified to be node-set:

     <xsl:param name="labelsfile" select="/.."/>

This declares the xsl:param to be of type node-set and to have as initial
value the empty node-set (because the root node does not have a parent). Now
the compiler "knows" that this xsl:param is of type node-set and will not
raise a type error.


Hope this helped.
