Sorry, I am new to
this and just happened to come across the site.  I will =
do a little reading.
I thought you could pass parameters into the xslt and=
 use it within
conditional statments.  I guess I was wrong.  Thanks for the=
 help I will
just keep tring to put something together that meets my needs.=
  If anyone
else has any other ideas about this your help would be apprecia=
ted.
