Description Marcus Better 2009-12-26 09:34:08 PST

Firefox supports a handy mechanism for passing parameters to style sheets included with the xml-stylesheet XML processing instruction:

  <?xslt-param name="msg" value="Hello!"?>
  <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="style.xsl"?>

This is described in more detail here:

style sheet to go with the test document

The document alerts "Hello" when loaded in Firefox, but shows an empty alert with WebKit (Google Chrome 4.0.266.0 on Linux).

While this is an interesting "feature", I don't see any common standardization of this as a feature.   You can accomplish the same task by importing the stylesheet and setting the parameters explicitly in the importing stylesheet.

I've attached an example.
