How do I pass variables into XSL in HTML(JS) to modify results?

[SohJai]

How can I pass a variable into XSL in this case to give a different result for the user?
And if I am able to pass a variable in to XSL, how do I read it from XSL?
in my HTML I have this and a <select> where the user can select what he would like to filter out. When item is chosen the 'filter()' runs and I want to make it run the right filter in xsl to output the new Data. How would I go about doin this?
<span id=data></span>
<script>
function filter(){
var xml = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
xml.async = false
xml.load ("XML.xml")
var xsl = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
xsl.async = false
xsl.load ("XSL.xsl")
data.innerHTML = xml.transformNode(xsl)
}
</script>

Thanks in Advance!

Use 'addParameter' method. This will add a parameter into your XSL stylesheet.

Define a parameter <xsl aram name="filter"> in your xsl stylesheet.
For more information on the 'addParameter' method: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/xmlsdk30/htm/xmmthaddparameter.asp
