<xsl:for-each select="$xpath"> In common with most other programming languages, XSLT/XPath does not allow expressions as first class objects, or as values of variables. So despite its name, $xpath, can not be holding an XPath. Your code would work if it is holding a node set, many APIs to XSLT processors allow params to be initialised with node sets by using a DOM interface to Xpath for example. Most command line interfaces do not allow this. If you parameter holds a string then this will not work, you can not for-each over a string. As you haven't shown teh value of $xpath it's hard to be more specific. Unrelated but <option> <xsl:attribute name="value"> <xsl:value-of select="ID"/> </xsl:attribute> is a very long winded way of expressing this, you could use <input value="{ID}"> And as repeatedly stated on this list <xsl:attribute name="selected"> true </xsl:attribute> is incorrect, <option selected> is the short form of <option selected="selected"> not <option selected="true"> If you use <option selected="selected"> it will be output as <option selected> in the html output method and be valid HTML, whereas selected="true" is an html syntax error, although some browsers may silently correct the error.
