Hi Ken,
When I step through the NEW_STYLESHEET.xsl with some sample xml, $fork1
definitely returns FORK, which then causes $OUTSIDE_PARAM to return
VALUE1, as expected. The problem is getting the first stylesheet to
realize that $OUTSIDE_PARAM has actually been defined as not empty.
Thanks,
Joni

<xsl:if test="$fork1 = 'FORK'">
<xsl:value-of select="string that returns 'VALUE1'"/>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="$fork1 = 'SPOON'">
<xsl:value-of select="string that returns 'VALUE2'"/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:param>
Unfortunately, the stylesheet is no longer recognizing that a param
has been defined at all, and is always defaulting to VALUE3, as
determined by the "otherwise" section. It seems to think that
$OUTSIDE_PARAM is always empty, even though it's not. Am I missing
something completely obvious?
Have you confirmed that $fork1 is being set correctly?
Sounds like an opportunity to throw some diagnostics to the error port:
<xsl:message>Fork: <xsl:value-of select="$fork1"/></xsl:message>
<xsl:message>Param: <xsl:value-of select="$OUTSIDE_PARAM"/></xsl:message>
If in your environment you don't have an error port, then you might be
able to put diagnostic information into the output using a comment:
<xsl:comment>Fork: <xsl:value-of select="$fork1"/>
Param: <xsl:value-of select="$OUTSIDE_PARAM"/></xsl:comment>
(but be careful if this is in the middle of adding attributes to an
element as it will choke off the ability to add attributes after
adding the comment)
I hope this helps.
