Generally, this cannot be done within the documented object model of the
MSXML2 namespace (MSXML4.dll).
You can *easily* do this in XSLT.

Hi
I am using XSL and MSXML 4 to do some reports. I have a main body of XSL
which selects from an XML tree all employees who belong to a particular
department which is a list being looped over already. The current department
value is stored in $deptName
<xsl:for-each
select="mycomp:getFilteredEmployeeRecords(//employee[./@department =
$deptName])">
Here, I am passing the result of "all employees in the current department"
to a MSXSL:SCRIPT function where I want to filter the node list even more
and return it.
Let's say I want a node list of all employees called John from the node
list that I pass into the function to come out.
My problem is that nodeList is a DOMNodeList and does not have what I need
to select another nodeList from it...i.e Node's selectNodes. All it has is
the ability to get a node.
I want to do something like
function getEmployeeRecords(nodeList) {
return nodeList.selectNodes("/employee[(_at_)name='John']");
}
The problem is that nodeList is a list of EMPLOYEE nodes.
How can I return a nodeList from my function which is all EMPLOYEE nodes
in nodeList with name = John?
I have thought about sibling functions but I am not sure.
