<xsl:when test="[BaseSymbol=<xsl:value-of select="$comsym"/>">
an XSL stylesheet has to be well formed XML so clearly you can't have an
xsl:value-of element inside an attribute.
the syntax to access a variable is the syntax you used in the select
expressioon, $xxx
so
the above would be
<xsl:when test="BaseSymbol=$comsym">
(having also deleted a spurious [)
which would test the strinbg value of a BaseSymbol element against the
global variable or parameter comsym
which might be what you want (although you don't show a definition of
comsym, perhaps yoou meant $basesym here?)
Also
<A>
<xsl:attribute name="HREF">headline.asp?storyid=<xsl:value-of
select="BaseSymbol"/>
</xsl:attribute>
could rather more simply be written
<A HREF="headline.asp?storyid={BaseSymbol}">
