RE: Parameter problem

If it has text it has children, since the text content of an element is
represented in the XPath data model as text node children.  Trying to embed
HTML markup as text content is a bad idea, because it will most likely make
your life miserable because it most likely will not work.  There are
numerous threads in the list archives which explain this in great (and
gory) detail.

Embedding markup as text is incompatible with the XSLT processing model and
it's best just not to go there -- just search the archives for
disable-output-escaping and you'll see why.

Maybe my problem lies in the fact that INTROMSG should not have any
children. What I'm trying to do is embed the HTML img tag inline with some
text.

If you are just trying to copy all of the children of INTROMSG, it would be

simpler to use:

<xsl:copy-of select="//INTROMSG/node()"/>

Using node() matches both "*" and "text()".

Another suggestion: it sounds like there is only one INTROMSG in the
document.  In this case, it would be better to tell the processor to only
match the first one to prevent it from searching the entire document for
all

of them (this can get hefty if it is a large document).  So you should
maybe

try also something like:

<xsl:copy-of select="//INTROMSG[1]/node()"/>

Or,

<xsl:copy-of select="/full/path/to/INTROMSG/node()"/>
