If you want the parameter value from a URL and you are not using ASP,
client-side applications for example, then you could do
something like the following example.
(using E:\xslt\post\theData.xml?myparam=test1 as an example URL...)
Sample XSL: (doGraph.xsl)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
xmlns:url="uri:find-url.org">
<xsl:param name="theParam" />
<xsl:variable name="xmlpath" select="url:findURL(.)" />
<msxsl:script language="JScript" implements-prefix="url">
<![CDATA[
function findURL(nodelist) {
return nodelist.nextNode().url;
}
]]>
</msxsl:script>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr><td>The URL is: <xsl:value-of select="$xmlpath" /></td></tr>
</table>
<!-- Draw a chart based on selection... -->
<xsl:call-template name="bar-chart">
<xsl:with-param name="theParam"
select="substring-after($xmlpath,'myparam=')" />
</xsl:call-template>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="bar-chart">
<xsl:param name="theParam" />
<table>
<tr><td>The value is: <xsl:value-of select="$theParam" /></td></tr>
</table>
<!-- other code not listed for brevity... -->
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Sample XML: (theData.xml)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="doGraph.xsl" ?>
<data>
<test id="test1" score="10"/>
<test id="test3" score="12"/>
<test id="test1" score="10"/>
<test id="test2" score="16"/>
<test id="test4" score="12"/>
</data>
Then when the following is passed to the browser:
E:\xslt\post\theData.xml?myparam=test1
The following result is displayed:
The URL is: file:///E:/xslt/post/theData.xml?myparam=test1
The value is: test1

Subject: [xsl] accessing URL parameters from XSL
Hello all,
I'm having problem with accessing URL parameters from XSL. How can I solve
this problem?
I'm using server-side Microsoft MSXML parser.
Viktor.
