Re: Embedding XSL in JavaScript

The latest Netscape/Mozilla browsers have built-in parsers.

Subject: RE: [xsl] Embedding XSL in JavaScript

Jeff,

Can you give some good references (books, links) on
using xml in javascript?

Is there any other way to parse XML files in
javascript without microsoft?

Thanks
J.L.

John,

I've taken 5 and built a (cheesy) example to do what
you're talking about.
This example using selectSingleNode directly against
the source without a
stylesheet.

http://home.earthlink.net/~xsllist/customer.xml

Use 'John Doe' as a search criteria as I haven't
added case-insensitivity or
error-handling.  All disclaimers about quality of
hastily-prepared examples
apply!

Great Brian what I meant is I have the the

following

javascript function and
I would like to perform Xpath functions such as

sum() and

return a value
into say a field.  So I wondered if it was possible

to embed

XSL into the
code in some way?

function Search()
   {
 try
    {

/****************************************************************

      This section is to input a value from

Accno.value

      search and then populate the fields

*****************************************************************/

     var strSearchValue = Accno.value;
      var strSearchXPath2 =

"INVOICE/DETAILS[(_at_)ACCNO='"

+strSearchValue +
"']"
       var y;

y=docInvoice.getElementsByTagName(strSearchXPath2);

        //Assign values to fields
        txtCustomer.value =

y.item(0).getAttribute("CUSTOMER");

        txtAddress.value =

y.item(0).getAttribute("ADDRESS");

        txtCity.value =

y.item(0).getAttribute("City");

      txtState.value =

y.item(0).getAttribute("STATE");

      txtZip.value =

y.item(0).getAttribute("ZIP");

   }
 catch (error)
  {
 alert("An error occured in the  function Search()

The error was:" +

error.description);
  }
}
