Hi,

The actual problem seems to be that your xsl:param is being defaulted to a
string type. Try setting the type to RTF explicitly like:

<xsl:param name="ParamColour"><default /></xsl:param>

Then again, you would need exsl:node-set() or a similar extension function
to pull it off completely...

So to default it to a node-set, try:

<xsl:param name="ParamColour" select="document('')" />

Yes, but in the context of the Object template it makes you happy (?) Does
it work in there?

Fact is, in the case of the key, the param evaluated as a string would still
give the correct result, where in the other case you *need* a node-set
(apply-templates).
If you insist on not using extension functions, I'd go for an approach like

<!-- default to empty string -->
<xsl:param name="ParamColour" />
<xsl:param name="ObjectName" />

<xsl:template match="/Objects">
  <FoundObject>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="key('kObject',$ObjectName)" />
  </FoundObject>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Object">
  <xsl:copy-of select="." />
  <xsl:if test="Colour = $ParamColour">
    Is the same colour!
  </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>


Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Andreas
