I think you're misunderstanding a fundemental conception about XSLT stylesheet. Each stylesheet is independent of each other unless they import each other. The reason Michael said your system has nothing to do with XSL is because ask far as it is described, it doesn't. (Whether or not it belongs on this list is ultimately up tot he mod I guess). Stylesheets take in XML (and with 2.0, other stuff) and produce a transformed page. You're asking how to pass values, but the way your passing values is dependent on another system, not XSLT itself. Your description of manipulating arrays doesn't sound like any stylesheet I've ever seen. You wouldn't have an "xslt" screen, but you would have the result of a transformation on a source. Describing it as interacting with the XSL page is like describing someone interacting with ps2pdf as if it was the result of the transformation and not the app transforming something. You could have an XSLT system that has nothing to do with the browser. In fact, many people do. Now, it sounds like you're using cocoon, so you're not using client side transformation. Think of it this way: Imagine a collection of conversion tools like pdf2ps, pdf2txt, etc without any knowledge of what goes on behind them. You decide to put all your documents into a web server and write a program that takes in a request for a file name and return that file in the format based off the extension requested. It calls up the appropriate command-line program. Now you go to the developers of those command-line programs and ask them to help you pass arguments into your cgi-script. Not surprisingly, no one can help you. This is essentially the situation, and the recommendation to check another list was helpful advice since you're not likely to get a response on such a system-specific question. Who knows though, maybe you'll get lucky. If you're really trying to ask how to pass a parameter into a xslt stylesheet, that's again implementation-specific (ie in the stylesheet you'll have <xsl:param>, but since an xslt processor can be found as an api, embedded into a application, or a command-line tool it's hard to tell you how to specify the runtime parameter).
