Selective XML filtering

[Ben]

Hello,

i am tryng to create a frameset page with 2 xml docs, one is teh menu
one is the content, i want to be able to filter the content xml based
on whats picked in the menu, is there a way of using superglobals to
filter e.g. "content.xml?name=bob" as im not sure how i could get a
xslt to pick that unique data

thank you for your assistance!

Ben

My usual suggestion is to use e.g.
content.asp?name=bob
and then in content.asp (which could of course be php or jsp or any
other server-side framework) to read out the query string and perform
the XSLT transformation after passing parameters to the stylesheet.
