RE: [xsl] Parameters into variables
Subject: RE: [xsl] Parameters into variables From: "Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2008 11:32:37 +0100 |
It's always useful, rather than saying "it doesn't work", to say exactly how it fails. Error message? Wrong results? I can't see anything wrong with your code, it looks perfectly legal to me - but I'm trying to debug it without the benefit of seeing its output.
