[xsl] passing parameters from one template to the other

Subject: [xsl] passing parameters from one template to the other

Hi,

I try to pass a parameter from one template to the other, like this:

<xsl:template match="itn">
<xsl:param name="title" />
<!-- transform all files that are linked via the @id attribute to XHTML -->
<xsl:for-each select="menu/category">
<xsl:for-each select="item">
<xsl:variable name="name"><xsl:value-of select="@id" /></xsl:variable>
<!-- <redirect:write file="C:\ralph\xml schemas\itn\test.html">
<xsl:value-of select="text" />
</redirect:write> -->
<xsl:apply-templates select="document(concat('C:\ralph\xml schemas\itn\', $name, '.xml'))">
<xsl:with-param name="title"><xsl:value-of select="text" /></xsl:with-param>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>

</xsl:template>


Where

<item><text>string</text></item>

And the template that is called is

<xsl:template match="newsdoc">
<xsl:param name="title" />
<xsl:variable name="name"><xsl:value-of select="@id" /></xsl:variable>
<redirect:write select="concat('C:\ralph\xml schemas\itn\', $name, '.html')">
<html>
<head>
<title>ITN News Service</title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- <p>The value is: <xsl:value-of select="$title" /></p> -->
<!-- <h1><xsl:value-of select="$title" /></h1> -->
<xsl:for-each select="newschunk">
<p><xsl:value-of select="text" /></p>
</xsl:for-each>
</body>
</html>
</redirect:write>
</xsl:template>

Is that the correct way to accept the parameter in the second template? Xalan produces an empty <h1> element when I try it. For testing purposes, I evaluated the comment in the first template (redirect). The text element showed to be non-empty, so there should be no error in the first template.

Thanks,
Ralph
