I'm having trouble calling this template. I want to find the median "price" for all "widgets"

This is as far as I've gotten:

<xsl:call-template name="median">
  <xsl:with-param name="nodes" select="*what goes here?*"/>
</xsl:call-template>

My XML:

<widgets>
  <widget price="10" category="1" />
  <widget price="5" category="1" />
  <widget price="20" category="2" />
</widgets>

My XSL Template
*Found this in XSLT Cookbook

<xsl:template name="median">
  <xsl:param name="nodes" select="/.."/>
  <xsl:variable name="count" select="count($nodes)"/>
  <xsl:variable name="middle" select="ceiling($count div 2)"/>
  <xsl:variable name="even" select="not($count mod 2)"/>

  <xsl:variable name="m1">
    <xsl:for-each select="$nodes">
      <xsl:sort data-type="number"/>
      <xsl:if test="position() = $middle">
        <xsl:value-of select=". + ($even * ./following-sibling::*[1])"/>
      </xsl:if>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:variable>

  <!-- The median -->
  <xsl:value-of select="$m1 div ($even + 1)"/>
 </xsl:template>

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

It is hard to be found an error
