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

If that is your entire stylesheet, then no built-in template rules are engaged between the two above fragments because the right-most step in the select is "*" (all elements wildcard) and the right-most step in the match is "*" (any element wildcard).

Which processor are you using? I'm suspecting an implementation problem.

With only the evidence you have posted, I would anticipate the data type of the curnode parameter to be "node set". I agree the default is "empty string" which would give you the error, but it seems obvious from your fragment that it would only be engaged by the given apply-templates because of your use of modes. I would think you would only get the error reported if the element being pushed at your stylesheet was pushed without an argument specified for the curnode parameter (as is true for the built-in template rule for elements).

Any template rule in your stylesheet is more important than the built-in template rules ... they *only* get used if you do not supply any template rule for the given node in the given mode. And when they are used, parameters are not preserved.

Sorry I cannot tell what is wrong from your fragment. If you post a short XML source file that triggers the error with this stylesheet fragment, then others could try the fragments with different processors.

I hope this helps.
