Hello, I am having trouble using parameters, using the July 09 draft. I'd like to use parameters to pass patterns to named templates, then add to those patterns in particular situations. For example, I've defined the path parameter for this purpose. In the following XSLT fragment , I'm trying to add '/@id' to the pattern in the path parameter. <xsl:when test="$path/@id"> I've also tried: <xsl:when test="{$path}/@id"> and <xsl:when test="concat($path,'/@id')"> I am slowly coming to the conclusion that it is not possible to do what I want. I guess the problem is that test does not allow attribute value templates ({ }). The full template, which doesn't work, follows: <xsl:template name="idcatcher_path"> <xsl:param name="catch"/> <xsl:param name="path"/> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$path/@id"> <xsl:attribute name="{$catch}"><xsl:value-of select="$path/@id"/></xsl:attribute> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:attribute name="{$catch}"><xsl:value-of select="generate-id($path)"/></xsl:attribute> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> The xsl:call-template follows: <xsl:call-template name="idcatcher_path"> <xsl:with-param name="catch">url</xsl:with-param> <xsl:with-param name="path">child::SECTION[1]</xsl:with-param> </xsl:call-template> Thanks, Richard.
