My XML is like this (bookstore.xml):

<Bookstore>
<Book>
<Id>1234</Id>
<Title>XXX</Title>
<Author>
<FirstName>John</FirstName>
<LastName>Doe</LastName>
<Age>25</Age>
<Email>test@test.com</Email>
</Author>
</Book>
<Book>
<Id>1235</Id>
<Title>XXY</Title>
<Author>
<FirstName>Peter</FirstName>
<LastName>Pan</LastName>
<Age>45</Age>
<Email>test1@test.com</Email>
</Author>
</Book>
</Bookstore>

I need to build a drill-down report that displays the list of books in the bookstore, and a link on the title, which will display another page with the author details.

How can I pass in the book id or title to the second page and read it there?

I tried <A><xsl:attribute name="href">bookstore.xml?id=<xsl:value-of select="Id"/></xsl:attribute><xsl:value-of select="Id"/></A>

How can I now read the value of id so I can write a template to go to that node in the xml and read the author details?

I tried <xml:param name="id"/> but that didn't work the way I was hoping it to...

Thanks and appreciate your response.

Regards,

You need to read it using another language, (perhaps javascript, asp, php) and pass it into the xslt processor. How are you running your transformation? eg. Are you using a XSLTProcessor object?

Nope... so far I just had the XML and the XSL files and rendered them in the browser(s)... I guess I'll need to figure out which processor we'll be running and go from there... Thanks
