You have a template that matches "/projects". In this template you do an apply-templates and attempt to pass a parameter named "project_id". The value you assign to this parameter appears to be a node named "record_id_". There is your problem. This construct assumes an XPath structure of "/projects/record_id_", where in the actual document the XPath is "/projects/record/record_id_".

When you assign "/projects/record_id_" to the value of the parameter, you are selecting a node that doesn't exist. Ergo, you get the default value of the parameter.

Actually, because that call is within a xsl:for-each that selects on "record," I think I'm actually getting /projects/record/record_id.

In fact, if you'll have a look at the debugging output I put in just before the xsl:apply-templates call, you'll see that I'm printing out the value-of "record" in the current context. I do, in fact, get the value of each "record_id_" tag here. And, if I change the code to select nodes from the current context as the argument to xsl:apply-templates, the value gets passed in correctly in the parameter.

It's only when I change the select to use the document call that the parameter fails to pass correctly.

Thanks,

Will
