RE: [xsl] Parameter problem

Maybe my problem lies in the fact that INTROMSG should not have any
children. What I'm trying to do is embed the HTML img tag inline with some
text.

If you are just trying to copy all of the children of INTROMSG, it would be 
simpler to use:

<xsl:copy-of select="//INTROMSG/node()"/>

Using node() matches both "*" and "text()".

Another suggestion: it sounds like there is only one INTROMSG in the 
document.  In this case, it would be better to tell the processor to only 
match the first one to prevent it from searching the entire document for all

of them (this can get hefty if it is a large document).  So you should maybe

try also something like: 

<xsl:copy-of select="//INTROMSG[1]/node()"/>

Or,

<xsl:copy-of select="/full/path/to/INTROMSG/node()"/>
