RE: [xsl] xsl:variable question

["Long Zhao" <LZhao at firstgenetic dot net>]

you are right on the first comment
for your second comment, since the variable is declared in top level
template, so you do not need to pass the para when calling "dosomething"

thanks

Long

Hello Long!

choose

1. Machine answer: Your second stylesheet is ill-formed because of wrong
</template> end-tag, it's probably </xsl:template>.

2.Both stylesheets will not work because of unresolved variable
reference in the template named "dosomething".
If you want $mode in the second template, pass it as parameter:
<xsl:template match="/">
	<xsl:variable name="mode">1</xsl:variable>
	<xsl:call-template name="dosomething">
		<xsl:with-param name="mode" select="$mode"/>
	</xsl:call-template>
	......
</xsl:template>
	<xsl:template name="dosomething">
	<xsl:param name="mode"/>
	<xsl:if test="$mode='1'">
		.....
	</xsl:if>
	.....
</xsl:template>
