RE: Parameter not working in contains() function

xsl contains not
Thanks to Oleg and Tom for their earlier help, which got me far enough to ask another question.

I'm using JavaScript on a web page to pass parameters (user input) to an XSL file. The parameters are global. I'm trying to use them in this for-each statement:

<xsl:for-each select="doclist/doc[contains($param1,$param2)]">

$param1 comes from a dropdown list on the web page and will always be one of the children of doc. If I manually replace $param1 with one possible value, the XSL works (i.e., 
<xsl:for-each select="doclist/doc[contains(title,$param2)]">. 

But when I use the $param1 as the first argument in the contains function, I get no results. Is it illegal to use a parameter there? If so, does anyone know of a different way to get user input from my web page to be accepted as the first argument in contains()? If more detail is needed to answer this question, please let me know.

Many thanks!

Kathryn
