At the point where the transformation takes place, the XSL
processor has no knowledge of the item_no variable, correct?
That is correct.
How can the value-of be resolved?
XSLT has no way of resolving the value. So far as I know, Microsoft is the only
major XSLT processor that offers an extension that permits javascript to be
used in custom functions during a transformation. It's the secret stuff inside
IE that does the resolution.

Subject: Re: [xsl] How To Call XSL Template With Parameter From OnClick Event
Hello all,
I apologize if this has gone out twice, but apparently I had a
setting which caused an attachment to go through with the mail, so I am
resending. I have a question regarding this recent post, and would
appreciate some clarification. Here's the snippet that my questions
stem from:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!-- //
function callDetail(item_no)
{
<xsl:call-template name="detail">
<xsl:with-param name="item_input">
<xsl:value-of
select="$item_no"/>
</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
}
// End -->
</script>
At the point where the transformation takes place, the XSL processor has
no knowledge of the item_no variable, correct? The transformation is
happening before any javascript is realized, so how is it the
transformation knows about this variable? Is it simply passing
*something* along to the template to be used? How can the value-of be
resolved? Sorry for the confusion, but I am curious........
Thanks.

Yes, it is possible with javascript, but there's no browser-agnostic

If you consider IE and Mozilla are the only browsers where the original
poster's task applies, Sarissa[1] sould do the trick as the
"browser-agnostic" solution ;-)
Beverly will just have to use the Sarissa API to control the
transformation and obtain the result tree, then common DOM to inject the
it to the new window.
