I did check the archives, the closest thing I was able to find was:
passing a parameter to select attribute of <xsl:sort>
(http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/archive/msg14124.html)
but this does not seem to apply to my situation.
Maybe somebody can point me a little bit more precisely?

This is a faq, you can't in standard xsl evaluate a string as an xpath
expresion. Check the archives of this list.
> "Reference to a variable or parameter "selectpath" must evaluate to a

you have <xsl:value-of select="$selectpath"/>
but you passed it a string: "Resources/Resource"
so it is equivalent to
<xsl:value-of select="'Resources/Resource'"/>

Hi,
I am trying to use a parameter in the select attribute of xsl:for-each.
Here is my stylesheet:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:param name="selectpath" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<p><xsl:value-of select="$selectpath"/></p>
<xsl:for-each select="$selectpath">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Here is my xml source:
<Resources>
<Resource URL="http://www.aspindustry.org/">
<Keywords>
<ASP/> <SB/>
</Keywords>
</Resource>
<Resource URL="http://www.aspnews.com/" >
<Keywords>
<ASP/>
</Keywords>
</Resource>
</Resources>
When I try to invoke the stylesheet passing "Resources/Resource" as a
parameter (using MSXML May 2000), I get the following error:
"Reference to a variable or parameter "selectpath" must evaluate to a node
list."
But, if I remove "xsl:for-each" clause, I do see the output of
"xsl:value-of" that shows that my parameter was passed successfully
to the stylesheet.
Any help would be appreciated.
-Max
