It is with your code, and obviously Saxon 6.3 implements XSLT 1.1, otherwise you'd have an error reported on your attempt to use the RTF (Result Tree Fragment) as a node-set. The problem is that an RTF, when converted to a node-set is a separate xml document, so the following code: > <xsl:apply-templates select="$add-apply-button"> > <xsl:with-param > name="submit-form">AddEditView</xsl:with-param> > </xsl:apply-templates> > will apply a template to the root (/) of the document, to which $add-apply-button evaluates. Probably your template (if any) matching / does not care for any parameters, nor it passes them down to any templates applied on /node() The solution is to replace the above with: <xsl:apply-templates select="$add-apply-button/*"> <xsl:with-param name="submit-form">AddEditView</xsl:with-param> </xsl:apply-templates> in case you're using an XSLT 1.0 complient XSLT processor, you'll have to use vendor:node-set($add-apply-button)/* Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
