Hi Berin, This does not work as testXSLT throws up an error with the quotes. I have tried:
... -PARAM Resort Blackpool - testXSLT runs but Blackpool does not get passed in ... -PARAM Resort 'Blackpool' - testXSLT runs but Blackpool does not get passed in ... -PARAM Resort "Blackpool" - testXSLT fails (Missing operator before 'Blackpool') ... -PARAM Resort "'Blackpool'" - testXSLT fails " -----Original Message----- From: Berin Lautenbach [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 16 March 2003 09:42 Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: problems with PARAM and xsl:param Richard, Not intuitive until you think in the same way as you would in the style sheet :>. Try using the command line ... -PARAM Resort "'Blackpool'" (I think there is some stuff in the archives around this.)
