RE: Parameter not working in contains() function

2003-06-03 13:34:55
Thanks to Oleg and Tom for their earlier help, which got me far enough to ask 
another question.

I'm using JavaScript on a web page to pass parameters (user input) to an XSL 
file. The parameters are global. I'm trying to use them in this for-each 
statement:

<xsl:for-each select="doclist/doc[contains($param1,$param2)]">

$param1 comes from a dropdown list on the web page and will always be one of 
the children of doc. If I manually replace $param1 with one possible value, the 
XSL works (i.e., 
<xsl:for-each select="doclist/doc[contains(title,$param2)]">. 

But when I use the $param1 as the first argument in the contains function, I 
get no results. Is it illegal to use a parameter there? If so, does anyone know 
of a different way to get user input from my web page to be accepted as the 
first argument in contains()? If more detail is needed to answer this question, 
please let me know.

Many thanks!

Kathryn
