RE: Using URL parameters in XSL

You need to extract the relevant components of the URL in the calling
application, and pass them from the application to the XSLT code as
stylesheet parameters.

My xsl just needs this one param set (ie. equivalent to <xsl:param 
name="imageNum">3</xsl:param>)
so that it can conditionally process. This has to be local (ie no cgi 
allowed to write the stylesheet, as was discussed before on this list). 
I've looked high and low for this, but I can't find out how to retrieve 
the URL for manipulation. I've also looked into how to potentially 
manipulate the stylesheet with javascript, but this happens after the 
page has been transformed, and thus is too late.

Thanks for any help,

J
