Virgin XSL User. Need to pass value and ID into ASP script 1

[Claypole]

<xsl:template name=&quot;position&quot;>
<select class=&quot;sys_text&quot; name=&quot;position&quot;>
<option value=&quot;none&quot;>(select)</option>
<xsl:for-each select=&quot;root/position/item&quot;>
<option>
<xsl:attribute name=&quot;value&quot;><xsl:value-of select=&quot;@value&quot;/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select=&quot;@value&quot;/>
</option>
</xsl:for-each>
</select>
</xsl:template>

This is the XSL what I need to do is pass the ID aswell as the value back to my ASP script. At the moment it passes the value only. I'm trying to extend someone's code who has left the company.
All help gratefully received. The template is of the form
ID Value where only Value is displayed in the select DRop Down List.

The simplest way I see to do this is to pass them both in the value and split them on the ASP page, they will be in the format ID,Value in the Request.Form on the next page.

XSL:

<xsl:template name=&quot;position&quot;>
    <select class=&quot;sys_text&quot; name=&quot;position&quot;>
      <option value=&quot;none&quot;>(select)</option>
      <xsl:for-each select=&quot;root/position/item&quot;>
        <option>
          <xsl:attribute name=&quot;value&quot;><xsl:value-of select=&quot;@id&quot;/>,<xsl:value-of select=&quot;@value&quot;/></xsl:attribute>
          <xsl:value-of select=&quot;@value&quot;/>          
        </option>
      </xsl:for-each>
    </select>
    </xsl:template>

ASP:

Dim varId, varValue, both
'split the comma delimited  contents into 2 element array
both = split(Request.Form("position"),",")

'put the contents in the correct variables
varId = both(0)
varValue = both(1)

That is one way to di, probably the easiest as it requires no client scripting but keeps the id and value pair together. The XSL is assuming that the id is an attribute just like the value.
