Yes, you are correct.  I didn't know that parameter existed, thanks.

couldn't you just use . in the called template?

Because I have defined another template for the 'record' and I can't figure
out a way to call it without loosing context of the calling template.  (I'm
still very new to XSLT)

Yes, thank you!  Since I left my XSLT book at home today, could you please
explain what this does?  I don't understand how the not statement works in
this circumstance (I've used it in others though).


Thanks again,
Jim
