Question

Basically I have a small template that looks like:

<xsl:template name='templt'>     <xsl:param name='filter' />     <xsl:variable name='numOrders' select='count(ORDERS/ORDER[$filter])' /> </xsl:template> 

And I’m trying to call it using

<xsl:call-template name='templt'>     <xsl:with-param name='filter' select='PRICE &lt; 15' /> </xsl:call-template> 

Unfortunately it seems to evaluate it before the template is called (So effectively ‘false’ is being passed in) Enclosing it in quotes only makes it a string literal so that doesn’t work either. Does anybody know if what I’m trying to achive is possible? If so could you shed some light on it? Cheers

Answer 1

how about the following:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <xsl:stylesheet version='1.0' xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'>   <xsl:output method='xml' indent='yes'/>    <xsl:template name='templt'>     <xsl:param name='filterNodeName' />     <xsl:param name='filterValue' />     <xsl:variable name='orders' select='ORDERS/ORDER/child::*[name() = $filterNodeName and number(text()) &lt; $filterValue]' />     <xsl:for-each select='$orders'>       <xsl:value-of select='.'/>     </xsl:for-each>   </xsl:template>    <xsl:template match='/'>     <xsl:call-template name='templt'>       <xsl:with-param name='filterNodeName' select=''PRICE'' />       <xsl:with-param name='filterValue' select='15' />     </xsl:call-template>   </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> 

If you still want to use a single parameter only, you could tokenize in template ‘templt’ first.
