Hi, Kai, I would need a bit more detail to be able to help with that. Please post the smallest (but still still complete) set of XML files (input and desired output) that you want. That way, we can see what you mean.
A couple observations, though: You can't walk back up the tree from a parameter passed to a template by using path expressions. Thus, you can't get the parent of a node you passed as a parameter by using .. or a similar construct. If memory serves, this problem arises because, when you pass a path as a parameter, you really pass a result tree fragment. Unfortunately, the result tree fragment has its own root node (the node you passed), so you can't go up from there. To solve this problem, you need more information. In the past, I have used a text representation of the full path (from the document root) to the node I want. Then I can use the name() function and predicate logic to walk back up the path. If you only need to go up one level, you could pass the parent node as another parameter. That method is not extensible, but it will work, so long as you really only need to go up one level. Also, you should subscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and ask that question there. The heavy hitters in the XSL world read that list.

I need to create a kind of recursive call-template, where certain attributes from different parent elements are needed. I want to do a call to a template by itself, giving it the parent element as parameter. Ho can I evaluate the parent of a parameter given node? Or how do I set a parent element to be current() element? While in a call?
