Hi,
Known: (1) How to pass parameters to a template (2) How to use an an external xml file Problem: Within the template of an external xml file, I want to process based on the parameter Passed in. XML main: <MenuDisplay> <MenuName>Main</MenuName> </MenuDisplay> XML external (Menus.xml): <MenuTreeList> <MenuTree name="Login"> <MenuItem> <Text>Please Login</Text> </MenuItem> </MenuTree> <MenuTree name="Main"> <MenuItem> <Text>System News</Text> </MenuItem> <MenuItem> <Text>Customer Menu</Text> </MenuItem> </MenuTree> </MenuTreeList> XSL: <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:template match="MenuDisplay"> <xsl:apply-templates select="document('Menus.xml')"> <xsl:with-param name="theMenu select="MenuName"/> </xsl:apply-templates> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="MenuTreeList"> <xsl:param name="theMenu"/> <xsl:apply-templates select="MenuTree[@name=$theMenu]"/> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> It seems that the parameter theMenu is not set. Thanks to Jeni's site I have come this far, but, although the current problem seems like another problem answered by Jeni "Re:Loading an external file of index" it does not seem to work for me. (using xalan). Thanks for any help you may be able to provide. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
