Passing parameter to XSLT file

[JohnMethew]

I am using SAX Parser, and want to send a parameter (can be integer or string) and want to display out put depending upon the selection.

example,

<home>
<parents>
<Mname>Jeni</Mname>
<Fname>Tom</Fname>
</parents>
<parents>
<Mname>Carol</Mname>
<Fname>Dave</Fname>
</parents>
<childern>
<parent>Jeni
<child>Jessica</child>
</parent>
<parent>Carol
<child>Aron</child>
</parent>
</childern>
</home>

This is my XML file, I want to make a XSLT which when passed Jeni, should display its children, and which when passed 2 should display all the children of second(2) parents.

What perticularly i want to know is how to pass these parameters to my XSLT.

How are you doing the transform?

HI,

What I was intend to do was to sort all the <fname>, so What I was trying to do was to generate a fragment, like in a variable, ex.

<xsl:template match="//parents">
 <xsl:variable name="nodes">
  <xsl:applytemplates/>
 </xsl:variable>

 <xsl:for-each select='exsl:node-set($nodes)/*'>
     <xsl:sort select="fname"/>   
 </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

--> Now what if i want to pass parents as parameter, ex.

match(//$param)... and proceed further.

and for the output .. where i have to group data
** One of my friends suggested to use Muench method of grouping as my xml file is too big. Can you please send link where this grouping method is explained clearly, i was unable to fine good help from google search.

Regards,
