Hi Wendell, you wrote: "When one of your links is traversed, what document should load?" I'd like the template referred to in the link to load when the "Orange" link is traversed. XML: <Source> <Orange enabled="true"> <Seeds enabled="true" /> </Orange> <Apple enabled="false"> <Seeds enabled="false" /> </Apple> <Pear enabled="true"> <Seeds enabled="true" /> </Pear> <Grapes enabled="true"> <Seeds enabled="false" /> </Grapes> </Source> ===================================================== XSL: <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <head> <title>Your settings</title> </head> <body> <a href="options.xml#Orange">Orange settings</a> <a href="options.xml#Apple">Apple settings</a> <a href="options.xml#Pear">Pear settings</a> <a href="options.xml#Grapes">Grapes settings</a> </body> </html> </xsl:template> <!-- Begin 2nd level node rules --> <xsl:template match="Orange"> <html> <head> <title>My Orange settings</title> </head> <body> <h2>These are the Orange settings:</h2> <b>Enabled?</b> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="@enabled='true'"> <span style="color: Green"> yes</span> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="@enabled='false'"> <span style="color: Blue"> no</span> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <span style="color: Red"> invalid value</span> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> <xsl:apply-templates /> </body> </html> </xsl:template> <!-- Apple, Pear, and Grapes nodes would have similar formatting, with each 2nd level template match, producing a well-formed XHTML page.--> So, can I pass a template parameter to the XSL engine in either Mozilla or Internet Explorer through an ordinary html <a href>, or in any other way? I've looked at XLink and XPointer, but can't seem to make these work for this problem using the XSL engines in these browsers. Thanks.

In most architectures, the file loaded will be another HTML document, which may also happen to be created from XML source using a stylesheet (which is what you say you want to do). (The usual scenario runs the transformations on the server or in a batch process, and the browser never sees anything but HTML. Perhaps this isn't your case?) That is, the generated link points to a document you will generate -- not to its XML sourcer (what you say you want), which resides in a separate laye, nor to your stylesheet (what your code implies you want to do by pointing to templates). If you want to generate both a table of contents, and broken-out HTML files from a single XML source, and have all the links point correctly to each other -- this is definitely possible with XSLT. XSLT is also capable of describing transformations into formats suitable for other architectures. Please clarify?
