RE: [xsl] Parameter problem

["David N Bertoni/Cambridge/IBM" <david_n_bertoni@xxxxxxxxxx>]

xsl:value-of generates text values in the result tree.  If you want to copy
other types of nodes from source tree to the result tree, use xsl:copy or
xsl:copy-of.  For example (not tested):

   <p id="pInstructions"><xsl:copy-of select="//INTROMSG/node()"></p>

You might also want to reconsider using // to find the INTROMSG element, as
that could become a performance nightmare.  Think about using a key, or
embedding the absolute path to the node.

For simplification, I'm now trying this:

             <INTROMSG>
                         Please click on the <img id="imgAlert"
src="http://aaa/images/pic.gif"; />  in order to continue.
             </INTROMSG>

and in XSL I'm doing this:

<p id="pInstructions"><xsl:value-of select="//INTROMSG"></p>

but my result is still:

             Please click on the in order to continue.

however, if I change my XSL to:

             <p id="pInstructions">Please click on the <img id="imgAlert"
src="http://aaa/images/pic.gif"; />  in order to continue.</p>

it works.

What am I missing?

You can do that, but you have to put _data_  in the users file which the
processor can use to customise its behaviour, you can't put in snippets
of XSLT/XPath code, any more than you'd expect a program written in C
to be able to incorporate random bits of C source code embedded in a
document.
