Thanks for the suggestion.  This did not seem to work either, the generated
HTML replaces $filepath with an empty string:

<input type="image" onclick="history.back()" src="/Images/back.gif">

Also, if I set the filepath as absolute path such as C:/webserver/htdocs, I
get the following error in MSXML3/IE5.5:
Expected token 'eof' found ':'. c-->:<--/webserver/htdocs Error occurred
during compilation of included or imported stylesheet
'file:///C:/Reports/xml/reportbase.xsl'.
