Hi Joe, > Is there a way to access the ASP variable image_path within the XSLT transform? Yes, of course. Are you using MSXML? Then use the method addParameter() on the created XSL processor object. The parameter can be obtained dynamically from your page by using J(ava)script. Obtain first your params, for example: <%@ Language="JScript" %> <% ... IdCd = new String(Request.QueryString("IdCd")); Hora = getHora(); Fecha = getFecha(); ... %> An example (Javascript-)function I used before demonstrates how to add the params to the xsl processor object (i.e. IdCd, Fecha, and Hora): <% ... function transformDataS(srcDoc,xslProc,IdCd,Fecha,Hora) { // point to the compiled processor xslProc.input = srcDoc; // add the parameters used inside the stylesheet xslProc.addParameter("Hora", Hora, ""); xslProc.addParameter("Fecha", Fecha, ""); // xslProc.addParameter("IdCd", "MXNL0068", ""); xslProc.addParameter("IdCd", IdCd.toString(), ""); // perform the XSL Transformation xslProc.transform(); // write result to browser Response.Write(xslProc.output); return true; } ... %> In the stylesheet, you can access the params by: ... <xsl:output method="html" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes" /> <xsl:param name="IdCd" /> <xsl:param name="Hora" /> <xsl:param name="Fecha" /> ... </xsl:stylesheet> ... Let us know if you need more help.

I'm having trouble identifying and printing the URL to the image. This URL is dynamic, depending on which file I am transforming. Basic directory structure is: /root: contains the stylesheet.xsl and the view.asp page /article-number/: contains the article XML and image files so: stylesheet.xsl view.asp /article1/article1.xml /article1/article1_figure1.jpg The view page is passed the article number through the querystring: view.asp?num=article1 It also sets up a variable image_path = /article1/ and that is the relative URL. I'm updating a previous transform which was set up this way. It accessed the graphic files by opening them in a new window and was able to access the image_path variable through a javascript document.writeln() call. However, that was embedded in a javascript function which was activated through a link and I'm using inline images now instead of opening a new window so the old approach won't work. I may need to try an entirely different approach. My transform looks like this: <xsl:template name="fig" match="fig"> <img src="/{@file_name}"/> </xsl:template> and I need to insert the URL here: <img src="/URL/{@file_name}"/> This seems to be a simple matter, but I've been unable to find out how to insert it. I've read people suggesting to pass the value in as a hard coded parameter but since the directory structure is dynamic that won't work. Is there a way to access the ASP variable image_path within the XSLT transform? Any other suggestion would also be appreciated. Thanks! And unfortunately, the DTD we use requires XSLT v 1.0.
