Get Parameter from URL String

If it has to be client-side you must have IE 6.0 or have msxml 3.0 installed in replace mode. Earlier versions don't support the param element.
In your stylesheet you can then define a param element directly beneath the stylesheet element:
In your stylesheet you can then define a param element directly beneath the stylesheet element:
Code:
<xsl:stylesheet etc, etc, etc>
<xsl:param name="FamilyName">Default value</xsl:param>
<xsl:template match="/">
This is the family <xsl:value-of select="$FamilyName"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
[\code]
If you have a xml file with in it a link to the stylesheet you can now pass the parameter using the following syntax:
(assuming your xml file is called myxml.xml)
myxml.xml?FamilyName=Reineman
If you use scripting and objects, then you will have to use the XSLTemplate object and the IXSLProcessor object.
Good luck!

I've tried the above, but I can't get it to work. I've got a form in an HTML that has a textfield named projectName and a person types in a value. On submiting the form to my XML file, the stylesheet just displays the default parameter value. Here are my files.
My HTML file.
<form action="archive.xml" method="GET" name="searchForm">
Name:<input type="text" name="projectName" width="150"/>
<input type="submit" name="submitButton" value="Find It" />
</form>
My STYLESHEET.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=" version="1.0">
<xsl
utput method="html" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xslaram name="projectName">Default value</xslaram>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html xmlns="
<head></head>
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates />
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="cabinet">
<xsl:value-of select="$projectName" /><br />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

<form action="archive.xml" method="GET" name="searchForm">

Well, I've retried doing this and still can't get it to work. I'm using 3 files:
1)HTML file with form and javascript
2)XML file
3)XSL file
---Stylesheet------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=" version="1.0">
<xslaram name="projectName">Default value</xslaram>
<xslutput method="html" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html xmlns="
<head>
<title>Engineering Archive</title>
</head>
<body>
Project Name = <xsl:value-of select="$projectName"/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
------HTML--------
<html>
<head>
<title>Archive Search Page</title>
<script language="JavaScript">
var xslt = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XSLTemplate.4.0"
var xslDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument.4.0"
var xslProc;
xslDoc.async = false;
xslDoc.load("archive search.xsl"
xslt.stylesheet = xslDoc;
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0"
xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.load("archive.xml"
function getName() {
xslProc = xslt.createProcessor();
xslProc.input = xmlDoc;
pName = searchForm.projectName.value
xslProc.addParameter("projectName", pName);
xslProc.transform();
}
</script>
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="searchForm">
Name:<input type="text" name="projectName" width="150"/>
<input type="button" onClick="getName()" name="submitButton" value="Find It" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
---------XML-----------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="./archive search.xsl"?>
<archive name="Engineering's Archive">
<cabinet type="hanging" content="City Projects" number="1">
<project type="Profiles">
<name>Ashley Street</name>

<pages>3</pages>
</project>
<project type="Const">
<name>Baxter Street</name>

<project type="Drainage">

What I'm trying to test is showing the textfield's value through XSL. I know I've been kinda annoying with this, but it's driving me nuts not figuring it out.
