Correct me If I'm wrong. I'm just trying to help u out.

The code fragment below is incorrect.

In the above code, the xsl:param has to be provided inside call-template
element.

Not true ... I believe Todd needs top-level <xsl:param> I'm guessing for the command line.

like following.

<xsl:call-template name="LatestNews">
 <xsl:param name="id"></xsl:param>

That isn't valid syntax ... it would have had to be <xsl:with-param> if relevant.

And the 'LatestNews' template has to be modifed as following.
<xsl:template name="LatestNews">
 <xsl:param-variable name="stateFolder">Default Value</xsl:param-variable>

That isn't valid syntax ... there is no such element <xsl:param-variable>


(looking back to Todd's post......)

It looks weird ... I see nothing wrong with your code (I *am* assuming you want those parameters passed during invocation of the stylesheet) and I get no errors when running Saxon with your supplied fragments.

As you can see I am using the $stateFolder and $stateLibraryFolder
parameters from the main stylesheet to evaluate my XPATH, the problem is,
whilst I CAN ACCESS $stateFolder I CANNOT access $stateLibraryFolder.

They are peers ... no reason I can think of why you couldn't see both.

If I then define this parameter in nswTemplates.xsl I get this error:

"Global variable or parameter 'stateLibraryFolder' cannot be defined more
than once with the same import precedence."

Which is what I was expecting...

Yes, I agree.

My question is, should I be able to access these parameters

Yes, you should.

or should I be
parsing these into each template using with-param

No, you needn't have to.

OR is this a MSXML bug?

Not sure ... I just ran your stylesheets with whatever DLL is in IE 6.0 and I did not receive any messages. I'm using the command-line environment described in the annex of our free XSLT book preview download. My copy of MSXML produces a single HTML H1 element with "Latest News" in it (I'm not sending any parameters).

I hope this helps.
