Hi,
In this example the $pageMode would come from the url, e.g.:
myXML2HTMLpage.xml?mode=List
I don't know of any way to get at command line parameters from xsl. If I could
access them directly then that is the preferred pathway.
Please note, although maybe I didn't state my original question clearly, this
is a specific example of a general problem of using JavaScript to populate a
XSL variable or parameter. {Or creating XSL functions as wrappers to javascript
functions). I have seen the web site: http://www.exslt.org/, but unfortunately
I am having difficulty understanding the information on this site and am
concerned that I may spend hours/days digesting this information and find out
that it won't work so some reason. It was my hope that maybe this forum could
point me in the right direction.
I think maybe I have found what I'm looking for on cafeconleche.org:
http://www.cafeconleche.org/slides/xmloneaustin2001/cuttingedge/116.html
I havn't tried it yet, but hopefully this will open the door to using
JavaScript to return data to the XSL stylesheet for use while processing the XML
Thanks for your help.
Kind Regards,
April

How is it that you are accomplishing the transformation that leads you to
believe that Javascript is the way to set the value of a parameter that you are
passing to the XSLT?

Hi,
The branching logic refers to accessing different templates within a stylesheet
depending on the usage scenario. For example:
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test=[$pageMode='List']>
<xsl:call-template name='ListPage'/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test=[$pageMode='Edit']>
<xsl:call-template name='EditPage'/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:call-template name='ErrorPage'/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
I'm sorry if I didn't give a good example of why I want to use JavaScript
within XSL, but it was the best example I could think of at the moment.
For the example above, how would you populate the pageMode variable ($pageMode)
via JavaScript?
Thanks in advance for your help and sorry for the confusion.
Regards,
April

Could someone explain 'branching logic'?

That would be sensible if the OP's question were actually about XSLT,
but it looks to me like it is actually a dynamic HTML question (and
therefore off-topic here).

Why not keep things simple and let XSLT do the branching?

Subject: [xsl] extending xsl with javascript
Hi,
I am interested using JavaScript with my xsl templates to control branching
logic but do not have a clue where to start. For example one ability I'd
like to create is to be able to access command line parameters to a page:
myXML2HTMLpage.xml?mode=List
I have come across a couple of web sites but they all make my head spin (it
is not pretty!) and I'm not sure if I'm ready to embrace a third party
library (especially since hugs are no longer allowed in US schools...?)
Can anyone suggest a good, introductory, place to start? hopefully with
examples...
Thanks in advance for your help!
Kind Regards,
April
