Hi, I have an XML file(employees.xml) which holds the information of all the employees in a company. I have created an xsl file(emp.xsl) too, which is used to transform this xml file. I have included '<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="emp.xsl"?>' in the xml file. A link in an HTML page points to this xml file. When you click on this link the details 'of a particular employee' have to be displayed in the browser. So the href attribute of the <a> tag will be 'employees.xml?empid=4". The xml file need to get this 'empid' and pass it to the xsl file, so that I can use something like : <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:apply-templates select="//employee[employeeid=...]"/> </xsl:template> in the xsl file. My files reside in an NT Server running IIS, but I am asked not to use ASP or any other server side scripting techniques. Can I get the work done with the help of just the xml and xsl files. Someone suggested <xsl:param> but I don't know how it can be implemented. Even if it can be successfully implemented, I guess it won't work with xml version 1.0. But still can anybody show me how to use xsl:param to tackle the problem? Or is there some other way to solve the issue? I will be extremely grateful if somebody can show me the way. Thanks.
