If you're trying to handle form values and pass them through your XSLT,
there are some fairly commonly known routines for doing so. I don't have
time to gather up links right now because I'm just running out the door to
work, but I imagine the XSL FAQ has something on this. Most OOP languages
have a method you use called addParameter or something like that depending
on the language that is used to accept a parameter from a form field and
pass it as a value to an XSLT parameter.

If this is what you're trying to do, let me know and I'll try to round up a
couple of instructional links for you later.
