Subject: Re: [xsl] Comparing node for identity using union From: David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2005 10:13:23 GMT |
When i set a parameter defined like <xsl:param name="pos" select="0"/> outside the XSLT does the parameter stays a number, changes to char, it depends on the processor, or what? "or what" specifically XSLT1 does _not_ insist that teh new value has the same type as the old value so the type of teh new value depends entirely on the mapping supplied to set parameters in your external interface, and this is totally unspecified by xslt. In many simple command line interfaced you cabn only go param=val and everything is a string, but in API's to yyped programming languages you can usually pass in a typed value, but the mapping from that type to Xpath types is again part of taht interface and not specified by xslt.
