Pass javascript variable to XSL

Hello,

I have the follow XML, XSL, and HTML file with javascript:

cd.html:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"
/>
<title>Untitled Document</title>

<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">

var xslurl = 'cd.xsl';
var xmlurl = 'cd.xml';
var xsl;
var xml;

function IEload()
{
xml = new ActiveXObject("MSXML.DOMDocument");
xml.async = false;
xml.load(xmlurl);
// alert(xml.xml);
}

function IEtransform(queryText)
{

xsl = new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument");
xsl.async = false;
xsl.load(xslurl);
var xsldoc = xsl.documentElement;
var nodelist = xsldoc.selectNodes('//*[@match="query"]');
var queryTemplate = nodelist.item(0);
queryTemplate.setAttribute('match', queryText);
// alert(xsl.xml);
/*try {*/
var templ = new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.XSLTemplate");
templ.stylesheet = xsl;
var xslp = templ.createProcessor();
xslp.input = xml;
xslp.transform();
var results = xslp.output;
var resultDiv = document.getElementsByTagName('div')[0];
resultDiv.innerHTML = results;
document.queryBox.text.value = queryText;
/*
}
catch(e)
{
alert('error: setup xslt: ' + e.description + '\n');
}

*/

}

//-->
</SCRIPT>
</head>

<body onLoad="IEload()">

<form name="queryBox">
<input type="text" name="text" value="Test" />
<input type="button" value="Go"

basically, what I want to do is take the value from the text box in the
html, and through the javascript load it in the variable strSearch in
the XSL file. I have been taking code from different places so some of
my variables do not match, but if anyone has any idea how to fix this I
would be very happy. Thanks so much!

I don't do Javascript, but look at the documentation for your XSLT
processor to see how it wants you to pass stylesheet parameters (this,
unfortunately, is not perfectly portable), and look at the XSLT spec for
how to accept them (which should be portable).

You can use Apache's Xalan Process to do that
