I have a XML file and a XSLT file. I created the XSLT file from a HTML file.

My XML file (discussion.xml) has a discussion tag and a rfinumber tag in addition to a few other tags.

I placed a table in my WYSIWYG view and placed the discussion tag into the table and made it repeating. When viewed, each discussion from discussion.xml is placed in the table.

What I would like to do is to put only the discussion tags for a given rfinumber using some sort of conditional expression.

Finally, how can I pass the rfinumber to a XSLT page programmatically. This way I can pass the rfinumber and have my page pop up listing only the discussions with a given rfinumber.

discussion.xml
XML

RFIReport.htm
HTML

rfireport.xsl
XSLT

Hi Glenn,

To define a parameter you have to use something like the following
<xsl:param name="rfinumber"/>

then you can re-write the for-each as follow

<xsl:for-each select="dataroot/discussion[$rfinumber = rfinumber]">

All major XSLT processor offer an API to bind a parameter value given the parameter name.

Hope this helps
