<!--
<read url.imageID to get more image info>

so simply all i need is to pass the image id in the url to display other elements of the clicked image.

It looks like what you are trying to do is read values in the XML file and insert them into the url of the linked image. If that is the case, I think the problem here are simply some syntax errors. You have an open <xsl:for-each>, and I don't believe "./" is a valid XPath. It's also unclear what you intend <xsl:apply-templates select="@name"/> to do.
Also, I personally avoid using <xsl:for-each> as using <xsl:apply-templates> results in an easier-to-read and more modular stylesheet. But that is a matter of coding style.
Try this code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="root">
<html>
<head>
<title>Album Photo</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />
</head>
<body>
<table width="500" align="center">
<xsl:apply-templates select="album">
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template select="album">
<tr>
<td class="big" colspan="4"><br></br><i><xsl:value-of select="@name"/></i><br></br></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<xsl:apply-templates select="image"
</tr>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="image">
<td align="center" width="125" valign="top">
<a href="album_ns.xml?imageID={@id}"><img src="{source}" width="{taille/@largeur}" height="{taille/@longueur}" border="0" /></a></td>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

That said, in case somebody comes across this thread in a search, I have an answer too :).
In our system (Xalan/Xerces), we can pass CGI variables into global stylesheet parameters. To provide a heavily simplified example, for the XML
<myxml>
<message id="1">Hello, world</message>
<message id="2">Hello, Mars</message>
</myxml>
we would write a stylesheet such as
<xsl:stylesheet>
<xsl:param name="mymessge" />
<xsl:template match="myxml">
<p><xsl:value-of select="message[@id=$mymessage]" /></p>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
so that when we call www.example.net/transform.jsp?mymessage=2 the output will be
<p>Hello, Mars</p>
