the variable is coming from and XML file. the user inputs in a variable and
that variable is inserted in the XML. Thats why i'm having such a problem
with this '&'
Ok...so once i get the variable from the user...i'll insert that as a hidden
input element. If I do this....I can tell the xslt to look for this hidden
input element and get the variable from there. right?

Just as long as you do not put the PCDATA into an attribute - you cannot
put a CDATA section there. You can, of course, put it into the content
of an element. I say this because a common way to send xml back to a
server is to put it into a hidden input element, and in that case it has
to go as the value of the "value" attribute of the hidden field.
Why not just use Javascript to escape the "&" characters?
