XML and querystrings..

[Guest_imported]

Ok, kinda new at this. What is the best way to pass dynamic information to XSL in order to grab the XML element you want.

For instance, lets say you have a search page and then it passes those form elements to a page and retrieves all XML data who's name contains that search criteria.

OR, if you have a link from an HTML page, like

http://www.something.com/pullrecord.htm?recordid=10,

what is the best method to grab that recordid and grab a certain element content.

Now, with this.. all client side. Would you have to code the complete XSL document in Javascript, just to grab the querystring?

Thanks.
