Re: Passing Variables to XSL Templates

I don't know if it helps, but if your variable is a parameter in the URI,
write :
<xsl:param name="name" />
at the beginning of the stylesheet (just after your <xsl:stylesheet> root
tage, and before any <xsl:template match="..."> )

then you'll have access to $name as the variable. Since "name" is a reserved
word, I don't know if you can use it as a variable name...

and the function you want to use is name(.) , not NAME.
