[xsl] xsl:param problem

["Anand Jayaraman" <ajayaraman at yahoo dot com>]

Hi All,
I need some help in the following:

I'm trying to create 2 drop-down boxes, one selecting distinct month, and
the other selecting distinct days for a given month from the previous
drop-down box. Hope it is clear so far.

My XML file looks like:
<page>
   <Audits>
      <Audit AuditID="694" Year="2001">
         <Day>15</Day>
         <Month>JUL</Month>
         <SourceFile>15Jul2001.01Aug20011650</SourceFile>
      </Audit>
      <Audit AuditID="705" Year="2001">
         <Day>18</Day>
         <Month>AUG</Month>
         <SourceFile>18Aug2001.02Aug20011921</SourceFile>
      </Audit>
      <Audit AuditID="739" Year="2001">
         <Day>18</Day>
         <Month>JUL</Month>
         <SourceFile>18Jul2001.04Aug20011612</SourceFile>
      </Audit>
   </Audits>
</page>


My desired output should be:
Month Dropdown = JUL (selected), AUG
Days Dropdown for 'JUL' = 15, 18

Below is my version of XSL file. I'm able to create a drop-down for distinct
months. But, am not able to get the distinct days for the first month, in
this case 'JUL'. Something is not correct with the way I'm passing
parameters.
