Scope?
Its still not working, all though I was able to get the suggested change to
the "with-param select" to work but only in a test environment. I am
wondering if I am losing scope. So let me ask this:
Does a variable not have scope inside an xsl:choose block if the variable
was declared outside of this in an xsl:for-each block? So (not syntactily
correct):
<xsl:for-each>
<xsl:variable name="some_variable" select="some_node">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="....">
<xsl:value-of select="some_variable">
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>
Then, take this one step further and from within the above "choose", call a
template passing this node set. Would this template then loose scope do the
nature of the variable being passed down through scope (like the above
example)?

Subject: RE: [xsl] Pass node to template
<xsl:value-of> extracts the string value of a node; you want to pass the
node itself.
Instead of
<xsl:with-param name="nodEdit"><xsl:value-of select="$EDITPROP"
/></xsl:with-param>
you want
<xsl:with-param name="nodEdit" select="$EDITPROP" />

Subject: [xsl] Pass node to template
Hello,
I am having difficulties passing a node to a named template.
Similar tests on the node (as a variable) work fine inline
where it was created. However, trying to pass it to a named
template and then performing identical steps yields the error:
msxml4.dll error '80004005'
Reference to variable or parameter 'nodEdit' must evaluate to
a node list.
Here is where I set my node variable:
<xsl:variable name="EDITPROP" select="EDITPROPS"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$EDITPROP/@type"/>
<!-- (notice the value-of, it my test and it works perfect) -->
Here is my call ($EDITPROP is the node):
<xsl:call-template name="MAKE_INPUT_BOX">
<xsl:with-param
name="input_name"><xsl:value-of select="$innerFLD"/></xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param
name="input_value"><xsl:value-of select="$currentVAL"
/></xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="nodEdit"><xsl:value-of
select="$EDITPROP" /></xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
Here is the beginning part of my template that fails:
<xsl:template name="MAKE_INPUT_BOX"> <xsl:param
name="input_name"/> <xsl:param name="input_value"/>
<xsl:param name="nodEdit"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$nodEdit/@type"/>
<!-- (this value-of causes an error) -->
So what am I doing wrong?
Thanks for the help.
