XSLTProcessor: getParameter() method

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

The getParameter() method of the XSLTProcessor interface returns the value of a parameter (<xsl:param>) from the stylesheet imported in the processor.

Syntax

js
getParameter(namespaceURI, localName)

Parameters

namespaceURI

The namespace associated with the parameter name. A "null" value is treated the same as the empty string ("").

localName

The name of the parameter in the associated namespace.

Return value

An object that is the value associated with the parameter. It can be of any type.

Note: Firefox supports any kind of parameter. Chrome, Edge and Safari only support string parameters.

Examples
