RE: xsl:param -- passing multiple values

Actually I solved my own problem by using the id() function. I setup my
xml file with a DTD up to for the product model number as the id:

<!DOCTYPE category [
<!ELEMENT product (category)>
<!ATTLIST product
id ID #REQUIRED>
]>

Then I pass the id values from the form  onto the xsl processor with the
xml and xsl file the id values get put into a xsl:parm and then I put
that parameter into a for-each statement, so the part that outputs the
data looks like this.


<xsl:for-each select="id($myparam)/property[position() = $row-no]">
     <td class="r{position() mod 2}">
       <xsl:apply-templates/>
     </td>
   </xsl:for-each> 

...so only the data for the model numbers passed to the xsl will be
displayed. I am amazed that it actually works myself, I was pretty much
trying everything including some voodoo chants and tried this out just
for kicks and what do you know.  The xsl is probably a bit sloppy and
probably goes against the purpose of xsl, but since I can't seem to find
a better solution using XSLT 1.0 this should do for now.

Such things are possible but painful with XSLT 1.0. I know that many
people
still have to work with XSLT 1.0 (I have to myself on consultancy
assignments) but I no longer do it for pleasure!
