In content query webpart columns are not displaying after clicking on edit webpart.

Question

Hi,
I created a content query webpart. I added one custom item style in ItemStyle.xsl. This template having some date operations. Some date comparisons. The issue is, template containing some variables but after selecting my template it is not showing the variable
names to enter the list column. What will be the issue? Below is the code..
<xsl:template name="BirthdayList" match="Row[@Style='BirthdayList']" mode="itemstyle">
    <xsl:variable name="SafeImageUrl">
        <xsl:call-template name="OuterTemplate.GetSafeStaticUrl">
            <xsl:with-param name="UrlColumnName" select="'ImageUrl'"/>
        </xsl:call-template>
    </xsl:variable>
    <xsl:variable name="DisplayTitle">
        <xsl:call-template name="OuterTemplate.GetTitle">
            <xsl:with-param name="Title" select="@Title"/>
            <xsl:with-param name="UrlColumnName" select="'LinkUrl'"/>
        </xsl:call-template>
    </xsl:variable>  
<xsl:variable name="EmployeeDesignation">
        <xsl:value-of select="@EmployeeDesignation" />
    </xsl:variable>
    <xsl:variable name="Birthday">
        <xsl:value-of select="@Birthday" />
    </xsl:variable>
    <xsl:variable name="dateTimeBirthday" select="ddwrt:FormatDate(string($Birthday), 1033, 3)" />     
                <xsl:variable name="dateOfBirthday"  select="substring-before(substring-after($dateTimeBirthday, ', '), ', ')"
/>
                <xsl:variable name="monthOfBirthday" select="substring-before($dateOfBirthday, ' ')" />
                <xsl:variable name="yearOfBirthday"   select="substring-after(substring-after($dateTimeBirthday, ', '), ',
')" />
                <xsl:variable name="TodaysDateOfBirthday">
                    <xsl:value-of select="ddwrt:FormatDate(string(ddwrt:Today()), 1033,3)"/>
                </xsl:variable>
                <xsl:variable name="TodaysDateOfBirthdayyy"  select="substring-before(substring-after($TodaysDateOfBirthday, ',
'), ', ')" />
                <xsl:variable name="TodaysmonthOfBirthday" select="substring-before($TodaysDateOfBirthdayyy, ' ')" />
                <xsl:variable name="TodaysyearOfBirthday"   select="substring-after(substring-after($TodaysDateOfBirthday,
', '), ', ')" />
                 <xsl:if test="($dateOfBirthday)=($TodaysDateOfBirthdayyy)">
                 <xsl:if test="($monthOfBirthday)=($TodaysmonthOfBirthday)">
     <div>
        <div>       
    </div> 
    </div> 
    <table width="100%"> 
    <tr width="100%">
                <td width="80%">
                                <table>
<tr>
 <td><b><xsl:value-of select="$DisplayTitle"/></b></td>
                   </tr>
<tr>
<td>  <xsl:value-of select="$EmployeeDesignation"/>
</td>
                   </tr>
                                </table>
                </td>
                <td width="20%">
                                <table>                                               
<tr>                      
<td valign="top">
   <img width="60" height="60" src="{$SafeImageUrl}" alt="{@ImageUrlAltText}" title="{@ImageUrlAltText}" />                                                  
 </td>       
                                </tr>
                                </table>
                </td>
   </tr>

Hi,
Based on your example above, which columns / variables are not appearing when editing the CQWP that you want to bind managed properties / list columns to?
