Hi,
consider the following XML/XSL pair:

XML:
<element attribute="foo">
	bar
</element>

<element attribute="foo2">
	bar2
</element>

XSL:
<xsl:template name="templ">
	<xsl:param name="par"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="/">
	<xsl:call-template name="templ">
		<xsl:with-param name="par" select="element[1]"/>
	</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>


Now my challenge is the following:
In template name="templ" I want to retrieve the value of the attribute
"attribute". I tried <xsl:value-of select="$par[@attribute]"/> but that
doesn't work. I also tried various flavours using curly brackets and stuff
but I don'tget it to work the way I want.
Am I missing something here or am I being stupid?

Any hints are appreciated.
