Hello, 

I'm trying to pass the results of a sql query in an xml file to a variable
in my xsl stylesheet using the xsl:variable element and plugging the
variable into a form and I'm not having any luck discovering the correct
syntax. If someone has any simple examples of using xml with forms or
examples of the xsl:variable element they could send me, I'd really
appreciate it.  Or, here are my xml and xsl files; what am I doing wrong?  
Thanks in advance.
