It's hard to tell. The path looks OK from the XML that you're
provided. Are you sure that the parameter is being passed through to
the stylesheet correctly? (Try printing out the parameter value on the
generated page.) Also, try removing the predicate from the end of the
path, to see whether it's managing to find any Borrower elements at
all (let alone those with a specific LastName).

I assume that here:

> <xsl:when
> test=\"ReturnResultSet/LoanSearchSet/Loan/LoanBorrowerSet/Borrower[contains(LastName, 
> $nameSearchValue)]\">

the \s before the "s were typos in the email and aren't present in the
XSLT (if they were, then you should get a big error from the XSLT
processor).

Cheers,

Jeni
