Hmm, okay thanks Stefan. After I get my little gizmo working I'll see what I can do to give back to the community. :)

Darn, something is amiss or maybe I missed something.

In my XSL document I have the following:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
    version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="html" version="3.2" encoding="US-ASCII"/>
<xsl:template match="listings">
 <xsl:param name="currentPage" select="1"/>
    <xsl:param name="pageNum_MyEmploymentListings" select="-1"/>
 <a href="{$pageNum_MyEmploymentListings}">Apple</a>
<a href="{$currentPage}">Pear</a>
 <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><th>Job Title</th><th>Deadline</th></tr>
 <xsl:apply-templates select="listing">
  <xsl:sort order="descending" select="deadline"/>
    </xsl:apply-templates>
 </table>
<a href="http://10.10.0.7/Visitors/HumanResources/tabid/330/Default.aspx?pageNum_MyEmploymentListings=2">2</a>
 <xsl:apply-templates select="totalPages"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="listing">
 <tr>
  <xsl:attribute name="style">
   font-size:small;
   <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="position() mod 2 = 1">
     background-color:teal;
     color:white;
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:otherwise>
   </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:attribute>
  <td valign="top">
   <xsl:value-of select=".//jobTitle"/>
  </td>
  <td valign="top">
   <xsl:attribute name="style">
    font-size:small;
   </xsl:attribute>
   
   <xsl:value-of select=".//deadline"/>
  </td>
 </tr>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="totalPages">
 Total Pages <xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

In the XSL Transformation Settings, XSL Parameters I did the following:

pageNum_MyEmploymentListings static 36

currentPage static 18

Shouldn't $currentPage be 18 instead of 1?

Make the parameters global; place them directly after xsl:output.

nice integer urls pointing to apple and pears   *grin*
