Re: Alternate syntax

I don't know, but your 'warning' named template references
$warning/level, and that element is not defined in your 'warning'
variable or parameter, so you won't always get what you want anyway.

Also, I don't think that test="number($warning/level) = $warning/level"
gives you what you expect either. Are you trying to compare the
warning.asp node value to the passed value?

Hey list,

Keep in mind, I'm open to the smallest suggestions on anything below,
even if unrelated.

Anyway, I have the following snippet:

<xsl:variable name="warning">
        <warning>New contacts may only be added to active
consumers.</warning> </xsl:variable> <xsl:call-template name="warning">
        <xsl:with-param name="warning" select="$warning" />
        <xsl:with-param name="level">3</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>

I don't like it. I'd rather do it in one fell swoop, a la:

<xsl:call-template name="warning">
        <xsl:with-param name="warning">
                <warning>New contacts may only be added to active
consumers.</warning>
       </xsl:with-param>
        <xsl:with-param name="level">3</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>

But my template complains: Reference to variable or parameter 'warning'
must evaluate to a node list.

Template below.
        <xsl:template name="warning">
                <xsl:param name="warning"
select="document(concat($root,'/warning.asp?userID=',$userID))/Records/R
ecord"
/>
                <xsl:param name="level" >
                        <xsl:choose>
                                <xsl:when test="number($warning/level) =
$warning/level">
                                        <xsl:value-of
select="$warning/level" />
                                </xsl:when>
                                <xsl:otherwise>2</xsl:otherwise>
                        </xsl:choose>
                </xsl:param>
                <xsl:if test="$warning">
                        <span class="screen">
                                <fieldset class="warning{$level}">
                                        <ul>
                                                <xsl:for-each
select="$warning/warning">
                                                        <li><xsl:copy-of
select="." /></li>
                                                </xsl:for-each>
                                        </ul>
                                </fieldset>
                        </span>
                </xsl:if>
        </xsl:template>

Also, I'm all about syntax efficiency. Are there any other shortcuts I
could take besides the one I'm looking for?
