pass node as argument xslt
It's running now :-) Indeed I was close to find it out.

Thanks for help,

I would like to write a with-param statement with a node as argument and handle this node in a template. But I don't know if it is possible or even what is the syntax.


Yes it is possible and you were almost there - all you had to do was to
try it out.  You can also simplify the "textfield" template by using
attribute value templates.  Assuming that comp/attribute are the
elements you are interested in (as it seems from your example),  it
would look like this (modifying your templates a little) -

<xsl:call-template name="textfield">
<xsl:with-param name='comp' select='comp'/>
</xsl:call-template>
....


<xsl:template name='textfield'>
   <xsl:param name='comp'/>
 <tr>
   <th align="left"><xsl:value-of
select="{$comp/attribute[@name='country']/@label}"/></th>
     <td align="left" colspan="1">
       <input type='text'
name="{$comp/attribute[@name='country']/@name}"/>

... and so on
</xsl:template>

Now, in this particular case it would not give you any advantage if you
could arrange things so that "comp" is the context node when you call
the template - since call-template keeps the same context in effect and
so you would not need a parameter at all - but there are plenty of other
cases where it is extremely useful to be able to pass a node-set
(possibly containing just one node) as a parameter.
