[xsl] Nesting xsl:call-template

---

---

Hello All:

I am nesting xsl:call-template nodes and am not getting the desired result.  I'm wondering whether I have made simple mistake or whether nesting of the xsl:call-template is not supported as I assume.

1. The following works as I expect it:

<tr>
<xsl:call-template name="TableCell">
	<xsl:with-param name="Value">This is some text.</xsl:if></xsl:with-param>
	<xsl:with-param name="Style">TableHeading</xsl:with-param>
	<xsl:with-param name="Colspan">2</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
<tr>

<xsl:template name="TableCell">
	<xsl:param name="Value"/>
	<xsl:param name="Style"/>
	<xsl:param name="Type"/>
	<xsl:param name="Colspan"/>
	<xsl:element name="td">
		<xsl:if test="not($Style = '')">
			<xsl:attribute name="class"><xsl:value-of select="$Style"/></xsl:attribute>
		</xsl:if>
		<xsl:if test="not($Colspan = '')">
			<xsl:attribute name="colspan"><xsl:value-of select="$Colspan"/></xsl:attribute>
		</xsl:if>
		<xsl:value-of select="$Value"/>
	</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

The resulting output is (which is what I want):

<tr>
   <td>This is some text.</td>
</tr>


2. This, however, does not work:


<xsl:template name="TableRow">
	<xsl:param name="ValueRow"/>
	<xsl:param name="StyleRow"/>
	<xsl:param name="TypeRow"/>
	<xsl:element name="tr">
		<xsl:if test="not($StyleRow = '')">
			<xsl:attribute name="class"><xsl:value-of select="$StyleRow"/></xsl:attribute>
		</xsl:if>
		<xsl:value-of select="$ValueRow"/>
	</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="TableCell">
	<xsl:param name="Value"/>
	<xsl:param name="Style"/>
	<xsl:param name="Type"/>
	<xsl:param name="Colspan"/>
	<xsl:element name="td">
		<xsl:if test="not($Style = '')">
			<xsl:attribute name="class"><xsl:value-of select="$Style"/></xsl:attribute>
		</xsl:if>
		<xsl:if test="not($Colspan = '')">
			<xsl:attribute name="colspan"><xsl:value-of select="$Colspan"/></xsl:attribute>
		</xsl:if>
		<xsl:value-of select="$Value"/>
	</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:call-template name="TableRow">
	<xsl:with-param name="ValueRow">
		<xsl:call-template name="TableCell">
			<xsl:with-param name="Value">This is some text.</xsl:with-param>
			<xsl:with-param name="Style">TableHeading</xsl:with-param>
			<xsl:with-param name="Colspan">2</xsl:with-param>
		</xsl:call-template>
	</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>

The resulting output (which is not want I want or expect) is this:

<tr> This is some text. </tr>

This is XSLT 1.0.  I am using XML Spy 2007 set to use MSXML 4.0.  I tried using the XML Spy XSLT engine with the same results.  I looked in Michael Kay's XSLT 2nd Edition, but did not see any similar examples or tips.  I thought that I had created XSLT in the past that did this, but perhaps I'm mistaken.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Todd
