Struggling to iterate over tokenized string

[Dave Brosius <db...@mebigfatguy.com>]

I'm trying to loop over tokens in a comma seperated input parameter. 
Something like this

<xsl:transform version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:param name="input"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
    <test>
    <xsl:for-each select="tokenize($input, ',')">
        <xsl:element name="{name(.)}"/>
    </xsl:for-each>
    </test>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>

I'm getting this

ERROR: 'Error checking type of the expression 'funcall(tokenize, 
[funcall(string, [parameter-ref(input/reference)]), literal-expr(,)])'.'

FATAL ERROR: 'Could not compile stylesheet'





Could someone point out what i'm doing wrong, please?

It's wrong to write, xsl:transform version="2.0" when using Xalan's
latest version. As Xalan currently doesn't support XSLT 2.0.
xsl:transform version="1.0" would work as well.

Thanks, all, for the input. For the curious, this seems to work as desired

<xsl:transform version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                             xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan"
     						exclude-result-prefixes="xalan">

	<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
	<xsl:param name="input"/>

	<xsl:template match="/">
		<xsl:element name="test">
			<xsl:for-each select="xalan:tokenize($input, ',')">
				<xsl:element name="{string(.)}"/>
			</xsl:for-each>
		</xsl:element>
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>

In addition to needing a namespace qualifier for the tokenize function,
I think you probably meant to extract the value of each node, rather
than the name. If tokenize is returning a node-list, they would likely
be anonymous nodes. How about this?
<xsl:element name="{string(.)}"/>

Dave,

  It seems that you're not using the correct namespace for the  
tokenize function. This function is a so-called extension function,  
not part of the XSLT 1.0 set. See [1] for further details.
