XSLT concat what is wrong w/ the following

[tovachanah]

<xsl:param name="foostart" select=(xsl:value-of select="startdate")/>
           <xsl:param name="fooend" select =(xsl:value-of select= "enddate")/>
           <xs:param name="startend select=("concat($foostart,'-',$fooend)" />

and

<td><xsl:value-of select="concat(xsl:value-of select ="starttime","-", xsl:value-of select="endtime")"/></td>

[Dormilich]

you didn’t quote properly.

the first 2 lines (resp. the attribute values) are not quoted at all, the 3rd one misses 1 and has a ( too much, the 4th one is not correctly nested (the attribute value goes from the first " to the next ")

[tovachanah]

what would the correct lines be?

these aren't attributes ....but elements

[Dormilich]

to give you an example

<xsl:param name="foostart" select="xsl:value-of select='startdate'"/>

this would be valid (though I don’t know, whether it’s what you want)

[tovachanah]

<xsl:param name="startend" select=("concat($foostart,'-',$fooend))" />

what is the matter w/ this...and should this be a param or a variable?

[Dormilich]

still not valid, omit the outmost parentheses.

whether this should be a variable or parameter depends on its use, refer to the specs for that.
