Thanks for your advice.

I actually used some javascript in the html file to find the ID.  Im
going to look into set the parameter in the XSL file.  Thanks alot.

HTML file:
<html>
	<body>
	<script type="text/javascript">
	function Request(key)
	{
		var strQueryString=QueryString();
		strQueryString=strQueryString.replace(/\%20/g," ");
		if (strQueryString.length < 1)
		return "";

		arrTmp=strQueryString.split("&");
		for (var i=0; i<arrTmp.length; i++)
		{
			var arrTmp2=arrTmp[i].split("=");
			if (arrTmp2.length < 1)
				continue;
			var curKey=arrTmp2[0];
			var curValue=(arrTmp2.length < 2)?"":arrTmp2[1];
			if (curKey.toLowerCase() == key.toLowerCase())
				return curValue;
		}
		return "";
	}

	function QueryString()
	{
		var strFullUrl=document.location+"";
		var arrTmp=strFullUrl.split("?");
		if (arrTmp.length < 2)
			return "";
		return arrTmp[1];
	}


	alert(Request("disc"));
	</script>
	</body>
</html>
