<a href="CSWMetaDetail.aspx?MetaID={$metaID}">
<span style="font-weight:bold;color:blue">
<xsl:value-of select="dc:title"></xsl:value-of></span></a>

<xsl:variable name="metaID" select="csw:GetRecordsResponse/csw:SearchResults/dc:identifier"	></xsl:variable>

<xsl:variable name="metaID" select="csw:GetRecordsResponse/csw:SearchResults/dc:identifier"/>

<a href="CSWMetaDetail.aspx?MetaID={$metaID}" style="font-weight:bold;color:blue">

Does the variable have a value ?

Have you tried:

<xsl:variable name="metaID" select="csw:GetRecordsResponse/csw:SearchResults/dc:identifier"/>

<xsl:value-of select="$metaID"/>

If you mean at the server, you have to remind that the name/data value pair need be url encoded. Maybe that's the problem... not sure though with the thin info.

How about something like the following?

<a>
<xsl:attribute name="href">
  <xsl:text>CSWMetaDetail.aspx?MetaID=</xsl:text>
  <xsl:value-of select="csw:GetRecordsResponse/csw:SearchResults/dc:identifier"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<span style="font-weight:bold;color:blue"><xsl:value-of select="dc:title"/></span>
</a>

Your code is fine, but simon is right, you must declare the variable before using it. Equally valid would be:

<a href="CSWMetaDetail.aspx?MetaID={csw:GetRecordsResponse/csw:SearchResults/dc:identifier}">
  <span style="font-weight:bold;color:blue">
    <xsl:value-of select="dc:title"/>
  </span>
</a>

But you must make sure csw:GetRecordsResponse/csw:SearchResults/dc:identifier actually points to a value (use <xsl:value-of select="csw:GetRecordsResponse/csw:SearchResults/dc:identifier"/> to test)
