Flashlight, MSXML allows you to do this as does CFML. They are all hacks because _passing_ variables in XSLT is not a feature of XSLT. XSLT2 will support this as does other 3rd party applications such as MSXML and CFML.
I can see why you chose MSXML because it can be used in HTML rather than CFML pages. :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Flashlight Trotsky" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2003 6:27 PM Subject: RE: CF in XSL, passing variable > Hello all, > > I just cracked it - using CF 5.0, MSxml 3.0, win2k server > > guess it can be done.. > > used an url variable & addparameter method in the transformation with MUCH trial and error on syntax and components. wotta MESS - can't say I'm in love with XML/XSL at the moment... > > - Flashlight > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Bryan F.
