XSLT template to return a value??

[sajesh]

Is it possible in XSLT to return a value from a template to another where it is called from? Just like the return statement we use in C/JAVA methods.. can we do it in XSLT any way?

When you call a template, you're invoking it and thus return a value from it in the output. That is the behaviour. I'm not sure what you're asking for here.I mean, if you already know templates could be called, you should know that for example:

<xsl:template name="template1">1</xsl:template><xsl:template match="/">0<xsl:call-template name="template1"/></xsl:template>

Will produce "01", scince "template1" outputs "1" and the main template returns "0" before "template1" is invoked.
