Perhaps other way around.

I have constructed the URL in its typical shape.  For example,
c:\1xml\request_form.html?id=xxx&modified=yyy etc

What I want now is to use the values of URL.
Value of id is set to xxx and modified which is set to yyy as an input
to my form so I will get it prefilled.

So you have any example for that?
That will be a great help!

If you're trying to handle form values and pass them through your XSLT,
there are some fairly commonly known routines for doing so. I don't have
time to gather up links right now because I'm just running out the door
to work, but I imagine the XSL FAQ has something on this. Most OOP
languages have a method you use called addParameter or something like
that depending on the language that is used to accept a parameter from a
form field and pass it as a value to an XSLT parameter.

If this is what you're trying to do, let me know and I'll try to round
up a couple of instructional links for you later.
