Thanks Dimitre, On seeing the process of execution,(in xmlspy), from Default Template, control comes to my third template. I also think the same that default template is not passing anyparameters to my third template.. I am giving my code: minimal possible one. <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" > <xsl:key name="label" match="labels/label" use="@name"/>  <xsl:param name="language" select="'en'"/> <xsl:template match="/"> (first) <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$language='en'"> <xsl:call-template name="main"> <xsl:with-param name="labelsfile" select="document('English.xml')"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="$language='fr'"> <xsl:call-template name="main"> <xsl:with-param name="labelsfile" select="document('French.xml')"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:when> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> <xsl:template name="main">(second) <xsl:param name="labelsfile"/> <xsl:for-each select="$labelsfile">  <xsl:value-of select="key('label','ecollab.purchaseorder')"/> </xsl:for-each> <xsl:apply-templates> <xsl:with-param name="labelsfile" select="$labelsfile"/> </xsl:apply-templates> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="HEADER">(third) <xsl:param name="labelsfile"/> <xsl:for-each select="$labelsfile">  <xsl:value-of select="key('label','ecollab.businessfollowedby')" /> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> <xsl:stylesheet>

sample XML ------------------ <PUR-ORD> <DOCTYPE-ID>PO</DOCTYPE-ID> <CONTACT>610223</CONTACT>  <PO> <HEADER>header information</HEADER>

	</PO>
</PUR-ORD>

What should I do to solve this problem.
thanks in advance

It seems to me that your description matches completely the guess I made in
my previous message.
If you do value your time it would be best to publish a complete (but the
minimal possible) example, including the xslt code, the source xml document
and where you think the problem happens.
From what you have written:

> 3. From this template, I am again calling child templates using > <xsl:apply-templates> > <xsl:with-param name="labelsfile" select="$labelsfile"/> > </xsl:apply-templates> > 4. Next Default template prints the node values for some of the xml > tags. > 5. Next when a template node is matched (third),the third template is > being executed, I have declared the param tag > <xsl:param name="labelsfile"/> > > Problem comes only here.. here, the variable "labelsfile" is shown as a > String rather than a Nodelist. and its value is blank. > and when the tag <xsl:for-each select="$labelsfile"> is being executed, it > shows error.
it seems that the "third template" is instantiated from a "default"
template. If this is so, the default template does not use an
"xsl:with-param" when it issues "xsl:apply-templates". If this is so, no
value for any parameter is passed to the "third template" and the xsl:param
named labelsfile does not get any value -- this causes the error message.
