Hi Chris,

You can certainly apply-templates to a node higher in the tree than your current node; when you do, as always, the current node and context shift to the selected node. And you can pass parameters when doing this.

When you do this, however, you probably want to use a mode in some fashion to avoid an infinite processing loop.

You can also pass a node-set (a higher node or any nodes at all) into a named template as a parameter when you call it, and base the operations in the named template on the parameterized node(s) rather than on the current node. So there actually is a solution lurking there.

I hope this helps. Ask again if you need to see syntax.

Cheers,
Wendell

Hello,

Im not sure how to explain my question, but i will give it a try. Suppose you have a template wich matches with some elements of your sourcetree (of the input xml file). There you calculate something wich you put in a variable or parameter. Now you want to pass this value to a template who matches with elements higher in the sourcetree then the previous elements. And then use that value at that (high) position.

Basically i want to pass a parameter from a template matching elements deep in a tree to a template matching elements higher in the tree and also change the current node to the higher element. But Im not sure if this is possible.

I know that if you use call-template, you still stay at the same node from the template where you perform the call so this is probably not the solution...
