RE: Basic help needed.

This code:

<xsl:for-each select="EXPERIMENT">
<xsl:apply-templates>
<xsl:with-param name="my_pid" select="@PID" />
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:for-each>

is applying templates to the children of the EXPERIMENT element, not to
the EXPERIMENT itself. The default for apply-templates is
select="child::node()", not select=".". Change it to:

<xsl:apply-templates select="EXPERIMENT">
<xsl:with-param name="my_pid" select="@PID" />
</xsl:apply-templates>
