RE: msxsl:script and selectSingleNode problem

The parameter you have passed to your function is the root node, which
is the parent of the Items element. The root node does not have a child
called "book".

Subject: [xsl] msxsl:script and selectSingleNode problem


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.
