Hi,

Sorry if this is really simple/doesn't make much sense - my knowledge of XSLT is rather limited.

I can't seem to set a param and have it pull through on the front end.

The param in question is 'month-id'. When I replace the following line:

<xsl:value-of select="$month-id" />

with this line:

<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:FormatDateTime(pressDate, 'MMMM yyyy')" />

the value is pulled through as normal. But I can't get it to function as a param and have it pull through just by referencing the param's name. Here's the full markup:

<xsl:param name="month-id" select="umbraco.library:FormatDateTime(pressDate, 'MMMM yyyy')"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
 

<div id="featureNewsItem">
  <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/pressArticle[position()=1]" >
    <div>
      
      <xsl:value-of select="$month-id" />
      
    <img src="{imageOne}" height="130" alt="" style="float:left;" />
    <div style="width:570px;">
    <img width="149" height="58" src="{pressTopLogo}" />
    </div>
    <span style="color:#E70079;font-size:1.4em;margin-left:7px;">
      <xsl:value-of select="articleHeadline" />
    </span>
    

    <div style="margin-left:13px;">
      <xsl:value-of select="newsStory" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
  </div>
    


    <a id="ctl00_ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolderDefault_C2kMasterPlaceholder_NewsSectionManagementArea_5_hlHeadlineTop" href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">

      

    </a>
</div>

  </xsl:for-each>

Thanks for any help!
