Hi Anna,

method="html" should also come in your xsl:output.

I'm not sure that you will be able to do what you want to do strictly with
browser-based xslt processing.  It seems to me that there is no way to pass
a URL parameter for use in the XSL stylesheet, if that is what $file is.
You should consider generating static HTML or using javascript/ajax to
display the parts of the finding aid that you want depending on a URL
parameter.  The latter is actually a pretty elegant solution.
