Re: Node-sets using <xsl:with-param>

If you are using <xsl:with-param/> inside of <xsl:apply-templates/> (you don't say if you are using <xsl:call-template or not) make sure you don't have any built-in templates being triggered between the processing of the two templates. If so, the built-in template will not pass the node parameter, the template with the parameter declaration will get called by the built-in template with no parameters, the default value for an empty parameter declaration is string, and you will have an empty string passed for the <xsl:apply-templates/>.

This is my stylesheet

<xsl:apply-templates mode="modify" select="/TM/
TC[@name=$tc]/
TTM[@type=$ttm]/
UCM[@prefnum=$uc]/
UPS/part[@prefnum=$ups]/*">
<xsl:with-param name="id1" select="$id"/>
<xsl:with-param name="curnode" select="."/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
...
<xsl:template mode="modify" match="*">
<xsl:param name="id1"></xsl:param>
<xsl:param name="curnode"></xsl:param>
<xsl:variable name="idd" select="translate($id1,' ','_')"></xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="newid" select="concat($idd, position())"></xsl:variable>
<part class="{name()}" id="{$newid}">
<xsl:apply-templates mode="modify">
<xsl:with-param name="id1" select="$newid"></xsl:with-param>
</xsl:apply-templates>
<!--xsl:apply-templates mode="structure1" select="$curnode" /--> <!-----******* Error on this line here -->

Ken, could you please elaborate on what the built-in template rule is for the situation above?
