Node name as parameter

Hi my xml looks like this

<Component name="super.useful.component">
      <StringValue name="component.title.1">
               <Value>some value</Value>
      </StringValue>
      <StringValue name="component.title.2">
               <Value>some more value</Value>
      </StringValue>
</Component>

all i want to do is to have the name as parameter.

My xsl looks like this:

<xsl:call-template name="showComponents">
                <xsl:with-param name="container" select="//Component/StringValue[@name????]/> 
            </xsl:call-template

so when i call it , it can have the both names of the components.

<xsl:template name="showComponents">
        <xsl:param name="container" />
        <xsl:for-each select="Component[@name='$container']>    

        //do stuff here

Seems like you got part of your answer already from @svasa, but also note that you almost certainly not what you want 

    <xsl:for-each select="Component[@name='$container']>

but rather

    <xsl:for-each select="Component[@name=$container]>

otherwise you'll be testing literally against the string, '$container', without variable evaluation.

I think you are fumbling upon the xpath to get the attribute namefor StringValue elements. If that is the case, the xpath selector will be :

//StringValue/@name
