The details of how to pass stylesheet parameters to a transformer is specific to the particular XSLT processor. But there is a portable (*) way of doing what you want to do: Create your array as an xml document: e,g.: <array> <string>string one</string> <string>string two</string> </array> Then pass the URI of this document as a string-valued parameter, and use the document() function to access the array. Now you can use XPath expressions such as array/string[1] to get the first string-value from this document. (*) assuming that all XSLT processors allow you to pass a string-constant as a parameter. -- Colin Paul Adams Preston Lancashire
