I cannot reproduce your problem.
This transformation:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
xmlns:scrdt="urn:reval-com:scripts:datatypes">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="data">
<xsl:call-template name="callInit">
<xsl:with-param name="itemNode" select="items"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="callInit">
<xsl:param name="itemNode"/>
<xsl:value-of select="scrdt:init($itemNode)"/>
</xsl:template>
<msxsl:script language="JScript" implements-prefix="scrdt"><![CDATA[
function init(itemNode)
{
if( !itemNode.length) return "";
var val = itemNode.item(0).selectSingleNode('book');
//var val = itemNode.item(0).firstChild;
if(val!=null)
return val.text;
return "Error";
}
]]></msxsl:script>
</xsl:stylesheet>
when applied on your source.xml (corrected to be well-formed!):
<data>
<items>
<book>My book Title</book>
<pencil>My pencil length</pencil>
<pen>My pen color</pen>
</items>
</data>
Produces the wanted result:
My book Title
both with MSXML4 and MSXML3.

I am sorry. It was my bad. I cut my whole xsl to make it easy to post
here. My actual xsl is
<xsl:template match="data">
<xsl:call-template name="callInit">
<xsl:with-param name="itemNode" select="Items"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
instead of
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:call-template name="callInit">
<xsl:with-param name="itemNode" select="."/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
and actual xml is :
<data>
<Items>
<book>My book Title</book>
<pencil>My pencil length</pencil>
<pen>My pen color</pen>
</items>
</data>
instead of
<Items>
<book>My book Title</book>
<pencil>My pencil length</pencil>
<pen>My pen color</pen>
</Items>
but javascript is same
function init(itemNode)
{
if( !itemNode.length) return "";
var val = itemNode.item(0).selectSingleNode('book');
//var val = itemNode.item(0).firstChild;
if(val!=null)
return val.text;
return "Error";
}
sorry for not giving clear information.
Thanks for your suggestion, but
So I don't think I can change it to
<xsl:with-param name="itemNode" select="Items/*"/>
b'cos passes down all individual nodes in <Items/>
So any other leads??
peace,
~Mur

Subject: [xsl] Re: msxsl:script and selectSingleNode problem
Your Javascript function is:
function init(itemNode)
{
if( !itemNode.length) return "";
var val = itemNode.item(0).selectSingleNode('book');
//var val = itemNode.item(0).firstChild;
if(val!=null)
return val.text;
return "Error";
}
and it is called from:
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:call-template name="callInit">
<xsl:with-param name="itemNode" select="."/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
This statement:
var val = itemNode.item(0).selectSingleNode('book');
evaluates the XPath expression "book" and assigns the result to the
variable
"val".
because "itemNode" is the root node (/), the XPath expression will not
select anything. The only element child of the root is the "items"
element.
Change:
<xsl:with-param name="itemNode" select="."/>
to:
<xsl:with-param name="itemNode" select="*"/>
Now you'll get the wanted result.

Hi,
I am getting this strange problem. Let me give my xml and script
function before I explain my problem.
my xml:
<Items>
<book>My book Title</book>
<pencil>My pencil length</pencil>
<pen>My pen color</pen>
</items>
my xslt:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns=""
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
xmlns:scrdt="urn:reval-com:scripts:datatypes">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:call-template name="callInit">
<xsl:with-param name="itemNode" select="."/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="callInit">
<xsl:param name="itemNode"/>
<xsl:value-of select="scrdt:init($itemNode)"/>
</xsl:template>
<msxsl:script language="JScript"
implements-prefix="scrdt"><![CDATA[
function init(itemNode)
{
if( !itemNode.length) return "";
var val = itemNode.item(0).selectSingleNode('book');
//var val = itemNode.item(0).firstChild;
if(val!=null)
return val.text;
return "Error";
}
]]></msxsl:script>
</xsl:stylesheet>
So my problem is, when ever I transform my xml with this template,
it
is printing "Error". It seems like it is not able to get to "book" node
when
I use selectSingleNode("book"). But variety is when ever I access it as
.firstChild, it is recognizing the node and printing the correct value.
I have no idea what is going on there. Any leads will be
appreciated.
