<xsl:param> is for specifying parameter names (and default values)
immediately following a template declaration.
Hard to tell why your example is failing as you haven't supplied a full
working example.
Once you are inside the template you treat them as normal variables.
If your example is failing then it is probably because the element
immediately preceding your <xsl:param>
is not an <xsl:template...>
If your <xsl:param> statement is 'outside' all your templates - then it
is a global parameter
which will only get overridden by values passed to your XSLT process.
e.g.
<xls:apply-template select='elements'>
<xsl:with-param name='v1' select='"value of v1"'/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
...
<xsl:template match='elements'>
<xsl:param name='v1' select='/..'/>
<xsl:value-of select='$v1'/>
</xsl:template>
Any help?

Hi all...
I'm having trouble getting parameter values into my templates.
I specify the parameter like this :
<xsl:apply-templates select="profile">
<xsl:with-param name="customerId" >
1234567890
</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:apply-templates>
And I try to read it like this:
<xsl:param name="customerId">unknown</xsl:param>
<fo:block>
<xsl:value-of select="$customerId"/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>
But I always get 'unknown'. I've tried not specifying any value, but then the
parameter is empty.
I'm trying to loop through a nodelist and insert each element, and to do that I
need to either keep the context or pass in a parameter specifying the id. But i
havent managed to do either. I've seen lots of examples, and it all looks very
simple, but for some reason these values are not kept.
I'm using trax xsltc transformers, could that have anything to do with it?? (I'm
not getting any parser exceptions).
Does anyone have any idea??
