I don't know what version of Xalan you're using, but Xalan-C++ 1.3 reports
an error:
V:\test\Astakhov>Xalan -v
Xalan version 1.3
Usage: Xalan [options] source stylesheet
Options:
-a Use xml-stylesheet PI, not the 'stylesheet'
argument
-o filename Write output to the specified file.
-p name expression Sets a stylesheet parameter.
-v Validates source documents.
-? Display this message.
V:\test\Astakhov>Xalan test1.xml test1.xsl
A literal argument is required!
pattern = 'id($pMenuItemID)'(test1.xsl, 6, 41)
Remaining tokens: ( '$' 'pMenuItemID' ')')
Perhaps you should upgrade the version of Xalan you're using. The
arguments to the id() or key() functions in a match pattern must be
literals, so the Microsoft processor is correct in rejecting your
stylesheet.

Hallo, All!
I have to work with Xalan and MSXML4.
I have such xsl style:
<xsl:param name="pMenuItemID"/>
...
<xsl:template match="id($pMenuItemID)">
...
<xsl:value-of select="@caption"/>
...
</xsl:template>
...
It works excelent with Xalan but it doesn't work with MSXML4. I get: "id
($pMenuItemID)' is an invalid XPath expression."
Why so?
Best regards,
Andrey
