First thing, surely, is to remove the single quotes in your select.
That is: select="$pageNo"

Hi all,

I need to be able to pass a pageNo parameter out of a 'lower level'
template into its peer template in the following structure:

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:param name="pageNo" select="'1'"/>

  <xsl:apply-templates mode="pageLayout1">
     <xsl:with-param name="pageNo" select="'$pageNo'"/>
  </xsl:apply-templates>

  <xsl:apply-templates mode=pageLayout2">
    <xsl:with-param name="pageNo" select="'$pageNo'"/>
  </xsl:apply-templates>

</xsl:template>

Where pageLayout1 is a recursive template, it increments the page each
time, I then need to pass the final value into the 2nd pageLayout
template.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions...
