Hi Kaerstin,

You need to assign the 'multiple' and 'label' parameters. In your case it
would be adding some expression to the select attribute of the <xsl:param>.
I aslo took the liberty to change the value you are adding to the input
controls.

With your XML, the following XSL

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
	<xsl:apply-templates select="dataElement/possibleValues" />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="possibleValues" >
   <xsl:param name="multiple">Checkbox</xsl:param>
   <xsl:param name="label">rb</xsl:param>
   <xsl:for-each select="node()" >
       <input type="{$multiple}" name="{$label}" value="{.}">
         <xsl:value-of select="node()" />    
       </input>&#160;&#160;
       <xsl:if test="position() mod 4 = 0">
         <br />
       </xsl:if>
   </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Produces the output using Radio (the checkboxes can be achieved by replacing
'Radio' with 'Checkbox'):

<input type="Checkbox" name="rb" value="image">image??
<input type="Checkbox" name="rb" value="webpage">webpage??
<input type="Checkbox" name="rb" value="text">text??
<input type="Checkbox" name="rb" value="number">number??
<br>
<input type="Checkbox" name="rb" value="money">money??
<input type="Checkbox" name="rb" value="animal">animal??
<input type="Checkbox" name="rb" value="mojo">mojo??

HTH

Cheers, Pieter
