RE: Passing XML data to HTML form

Perhaps other way around.

I have constructed the URL in its typical shape.  For example,
c:\1xml\request_form.html?id=xxx&modified=yyy etc

What I want now is to use the values of URL.
Value of id is set to xxx and modified which is set to yyy as an input
to my form so I will get it prefilled.

So you have any example for that?
That will be a great help!

If you're trying to handle form values and pass them through your XSLT,
there are some fairly commonly known routines for doing so. I don't have
time to gather up links right now because I'm just running out the door
to work, but I imagine the XSL FAQ has something on this. Most OOP
languages have a method you use called addParameter or something like
that depending on the language that is used to accept a parameter from a
form field and pass it as a value to an XSLT parameter.

If this is what you're trying to do, let me know and I'll try to round
up a couple of instructional links for you later.

Thanks Eddie for the suggestion. Following statement shows some 
potential in resolving this issue. Lets see, what solution do we come 
up with for this issue. I prefer to do with pure xslt but if not then 
anything will do.

Cheers,

Function Libraries
The function library sample shows how external functions can be called
from within XPath statements in an XForms form. This is a powerful
technique, and brings XForms closer to being an environment in which
applications can be developed.

The function library used for illustration is a library provided with 
FormsPlayer to aid debugging. The library contains functions that will

render instance data as a string of XML. Serialise XML

Hi Sajjad,

I think you can do what you want with XSLT, but I don't know how to do

it.
:) Anyway take a look at XFORMS at w3.org, and formsplayer.com.  You 
may be able to combine it with what you are doing. Maybe. Good luck.

May be my question is not that clear so I am trying to explain it a 
bit more

I have the style sheet which extracts the attribute values for name, 
id, description, and last modified date.

I want to pass those values to a html form so it will be a prefilled 
form.

I have no idea, if I can do that with xslt.

Can anyone guide please?

Thanks,
/s
