Hi David,
Sorry that I didn?t explaining clearly my problem.
Actually, I have produce a Web page using an XHTML file. IT looks like that:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="one.xsl" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
	<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; accept-charset=utf-8"/>
<title>Title</title>
<meta content="some keywords here" name="keywords"/>
<meta content="a description of the page here" name="description"/>
	</head>
	<body>
	<div>
	<img src="/C:/My Documents/leo/ee3.gif" alt="Labs" title="The Photo" 
height="287"/>
		</div>
		<h1>Header same as Title</h1>
		<h2>Header</h2>
		<h3>Header</h3>
		<p>Text</p>
		<p>Text</p>
		<div class="section">
			<h2>Welcome</h2>
			<p>Text</p>
			<p>Text</p>
		</div>
                <div class="section">
			<h2>
			<a href="http://www.hotmail.com ">Hotmail</a>
			</h2>
		</div>
		<div class="section">
			<h2>People</h2>
			<p>Text<p>
			<p>Text</p>
		</div>
               <div class="section">
                ???????..
                ???????.
              </div>
	</body>
</html>
I use three stylesheets. One to produce a standard header, one for a 
standard footer and one main xsl to call the other two and bind the hall 
output.
With the header, I apply a photo as well as a table of contents.. This table 
contains the h2 headers from the XHTML.
Some of them as you can see are external links. I succeed to produce this 
table with internal and external links using the generate-id() function.
Everything seems to work fine but the problem is that I have to break up 
this xhtml in pages.
I would like to type at the url: http://mypage.xml?page1 and get the first 
h2 section (Welcome) in a web page with my standard header and footer.
That?s why I am looking at the parameter solution:
<input name="page_number" value="{$page_number}"/>
The idea is that the end user can be navigated with Prev. and Next to all 
the sections of my XHTML.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 
xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<xsl:import href="header.xsl"/>
<xsl:import href="footer.xsl"/>
In order to apply all the numbers of the sections to the parameter I thought 
to do something like that:
	<xsl:param name="page_number" 
select="following-sibling::div[@class='section'][position()=1]"/>
So I can type to the url different page its time:
http://mypage.xml?page1
http://mypage.xml?page2
	<xsl:template match="/">
		<xsl:apply-templates/>
	</xsl:template>
		<xsl:template match="xhtml:head">
		<link rel="alternate stylesheet" title="simple" href="simpletext.css" 
type="text/css"/>
		<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
	</xsl:template>
	<xsl:template match="xhtml:body">
		<body>
			<xsl:call-template name="header"/>
			<xsl:call-template name="footer"/>
				</body>
	<!-- manage h2 elements -->
	<xsl:template match="//xhtml:div[@class='section']/xhtml:h2">
		<xsl:choose>
			<xsl:when test="./xhtml:a">
		</xsl:when>
		<xsl:otherwise>
		<h2 class="section" id="{generate-id()}">
			<a name="{generate-id()}">
				<xsl:value-of select="*">
				</xsl:value-of>
						<xsl:apply-templates/>
					</a>
				</h2>
			</xsl:otherwise>
		</xsl:choose>
	</xsl:template>
Here I try to apply the parameter for every div that contains h2
	<!--****************************-->
	<xsl:template match="//xhtml:div[@class='section']">
		<xsl:if test="./div[@class='section']">
		<input name="page_number" value="{$page_number}"/>
				<xsl:value-of select="*">
				</xsl:value-of>
				<xsl:apply-templates/>
		</xsl:if>
	</xsl:template>
	<!--****************************-->
	<!--manage h1 in the body,not sow them, but use them for the header-->
	<xsl:template match="//xhtml:h1">
		<xsl:if test="./xhtml:h1">
</xsl:if>
	</xsl:template>
	<!--manage <img > in the body,not sow them, but let the stylesheet use them 
if available-->
	<xsl:template match="//xhtml:img">
		<xsl:if test="./xhtml:img">
</xsl:if>
	</xsl:template>
<!-- default: just copy input to output -->
<xsl:template match="*|text()|*/comment()|processing-instruction()">
		<xsl:copy>
			<xsl:for-each select="@*">
				<xsl:copy/>
			</xsl:for-each>
			<xsl:apply-templates/>
		</xsl:copy>
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Until now, the only thing I succeed is to produce a page with my standard 
header and footer, h1, h2, h3 and the first paragraphs that are not inside 
div:
<h1>Header same as Title</h1>
<h2>Header</h2>
		<h3>Header</h3>
		<p>Text</p>
		<p>Text</p>
I use XMLSPY 5 under trial and the debugger seems to see the sections :
		<xsl:if test="./div[@class='section']">
		<input name="page_number" value="{$page_number}"/>
				<xsl:value-of select="*">
				</xsl:value-of>
				<xsl:apply-templates/>
		</xsl:if>
but doesn?t display the one I want.
I search the xslt-list and a lot of sites in the net for an example but when 
someone want to do something like that, uses FO-Blocks and I am not familiar 
with that.
Sorry if I take a lot of your time but even a reference for a related 
example would be really helpful.
Regards
Leo
