Re: [xsl] passing variables to a stylesheet

[Jörg Heinicke <joerg.heinicke@xxxxxx>]

Do you have a

<xsl:param name="somecondition">standard value if no param was sent to the
stylesheet</xsl:param>

as toplevel-element (as child of <xsl:stylesheet>) in your stylesheet? Then
there should be no problem. You get at least the standard value of the
param.
