Ryan, Thank you. The JavaScript code you mentioned works well. But I am now hitting the similar problem with XSLT. The following XSLT code can't retrieve the value of "hl.fl" parameter even though the similar code for other parameter works.
<xsl:variable name="hlfl" select="response/responseHeader/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'params']/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'hl.fl']" /> I am using the XSLT Writer and whatever XSLT processor it uses. I can get around this problem by passing the same value to another parameter of no dot in its name, but I really don't think using a dot in variable names is a good idea. -kuro
