Note it contains several commented-out xsl:for-each statements which I have used during testing. <xsl:template name='find-persons-with-preference'> <xsl:param name = "preference" /> <in-called-template pref='{$preference}' /> <xsl:for-each select = '/person:company/person:person[person:music-preference="$preference"]' > <!--<xsl:for-each select = '/person:company/person:person[person:music-preference="{$preference}"]' >--> <!--<xsl:for-each select = '/person:company/person:person[person:music-preference="folk"]' >--> <!--<xsl:for-each select = '/person:company/person:person' >--> <person-with-preference> <xsl:value-of select='@name' /> </person-with-preference> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> The predicate [person:music-preference="$preference"] returns no nodes. Nor does the version of the predicate with curly braces, [person:music-preference="{$preference}"]. However, the hard-coded version of the predicate, [person:music-preference="folk"], DOES return nodes. Note this template begins by displaying the value of the parameter. For example, when passed the parameter "folk", this template displays the line. <in-called-template pref="folk"></in-called-template> When using the hard-coded version of the predicate, the following rows are obtained: <in-called-template pref="folk"></in-called-template> <person-with-preference>Sammy</person-with-preference> <person-with-preference>Mika</person-with-preference> When using $preference in the predicate, either with or without the curly braces, the following row is obtained instead: <in-called-template pref="folk"></in-called-template> Is there something wrong with my non-hardcoded predicate? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
