"and" Operator Issue - Macro Container Umbraco TV tutorial

Hi, Im going through the Umbraco TV tutorials and I have come across an issue with my macro and the "and" operator.

I have created the macro parameters and inserted the macro into the template.

But I am not getting any values back with the and operator. I can get a single value back from one variable when i remove the "and".

I am still learning xslt, so any help would be grateful.

Thanks

Martin

My xslt macro is:

<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>
    <xsl:variable name="title" select="/macro/title"/>
    <xsl:variable name="text" select="/macro/text"/>


  <xsl:template match="/">
  <!-- start writing XSLT -->
     <div> 
 
      <xsl:if test="$title and $text">
        <h4><xsl:value-of select="$title"/></h4>
        <p><xsl:value-of select="$text"/></p>
      </xsl:if>  
       
    </div>
</xsl:template>

It's not the "and" operator that is causing the issue. I found out that the word "text" as a variable title causes issues.

Ive tried it with a few titles and it only seems to fail when i use the word "text"

Anyone else have issues like this.

Hi Martin,

I know "class", "width" and "height" are prone to error too - even so, the error is solely a .NET error. You can name your variable "text" alright - you just can't use "text" as the name of the macro parameter, because you'll need to put an attribute with that name on the <umbraco:macro> tag, where it's apparently reserved for use by .NET... a workaround that lets you keep the "text" name in XSLT would be like this:
```

<umbraco:macro alias="MyMacro" textparam="Here I am" runat="server" />


<xsl:variable name="text" select="/macro/textparam" />
```
