  1. POPassing a Node as an XSL Template Parameter
    text
    copied!<p>In an existing XSL stylesheet I was passing a string into a named template. Due to a requirements change, I now need to display four strings, the string I was displaying and its three siblings. Rather than pass the four separate strings into the named template, I'm trying to pass their parent element (PETrailingFund in the code below), </p> <pre><code> &lt;xsl:call-template name="row"&gt; &lt;xsl:with-param name="label"&gt;Price/Earnings Trailing&lt;/xsl:with-param&gt; &lt;xsl:with-param name="formatMarker"&gt;x&lt;/xsl:with-param&gt; &lt;xsl:with-param name="fund" select="PETrailingFund" /&gt; &lt;xsl:with-param name="benchmark"&gt; &lt;xsl:value-of select="benchmark/PETrailingBenchmark"/&gt; &lt;/xsl:with-param&gt; &lt;xsl:with-param name="benchmark2"&gt; &lt;xsl:value-of select="benchmark2/PETrailingBenchmark"/&gt; &lt;/xsl:with-param&gt; &lt;/xsl:call-template&gt; </code></pre> <p>but the transformation blows up when I try to work with the "fund" parameter in the named template:</p> <pre><code>&lt;xsl:template name="row"&gt; &lt;xsl:param name="label" /&gt; &lt;xsl:param name="fund" /&gt; &lt;xsl:param name="benchmark"&gt;NOT PROVIDED&lt;/xsl:param&gt; &lt;xsl:param name="benchmark2"&gt;NOT PROVIDED&lt;/xsl:param&gt; &lt;xsl:param name="formatMarker"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/xsl:param&gt; &lt;xsl:param name="useDecimalFormatter"&gt;yes&lt;/xsl:param&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td class="first popup"&gt; &lt;xsl:value-of select="$label" disable-output-escaping="yes"/&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;xsl:if test="$benchmark = 'NOT PROVIDED'"&gt; &lt;xsl:attribute name="class"&gt;last&lt;/xsl:attribute&gt; &lt;/xsl:if&gt; &lt;xsl:value-of select="$fund/child::*" /&gt; &lt;xsl:value-of select="$formatMarker"/&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; </code></pre> <p>From what I've read, I'm not really passing in a node but a result tree fragment and I need to get it back to a node (or node-set). Is that accurate or am I doing something else wrong? How would I convert it (I'm working in a fairly stock PHP5 environment that I can't change).</p> <p>N.B., I trimmed a good bit of the named template for simplicity's sake.</p>
