Hi Scott & Charles - Thank you!
Scott - I suspect you are right that I won't be able to acess the window object
during the time of XSL processing. My kludge has been to use HTTPRequest to
load the xml document, create/set attributes that act as command line
parameters, perfom the transformation, and then attach the result to a <div>.
The top level XSL looks like:
<xsl:template match="/">
<!-- Get Input Variables -->
<xsl:variable name="DashboardMode"><xsl:value-of
select="//*/@templateMode"/></xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="SelectedManager"><xsl:value-of
select="//*/@selectedManager"/></xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="SelectedService"><xsl:value-of
select="//*/@selectedService"/></xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="SelectedFunction"><xsl:value-of
select="//*/@selectedFunction"/></xsl:variable>
<!-- Top Level 'Select Case' -->
<xsl:choose>
<!-- Service Manager Dashboard -->
<xsl:when test="$DashboardMode='Manager'">
<xsl:call-template name="ManagerDashboard" >
<xsl:with-param name="manager"><xsl:value-of
select="$SelectedManager"/></xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="function"><xsl:value-of
select="$SelectedFunction"/></xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<!-- Service Dashboard -->
<xsl:when test="$DashboardMode='Service'">
<xsl:call-template name="ServiceDashboard" >
<xsl:with-param name="service"><xsl:value-of
select="$SelectedService"/></xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="function"><xsl:value-of
select="$SelectedFunction"/></xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:apply-templates mode="Error" select="/"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
It's pretty ugly (and needs to be refactored), but it works! The challange to
this app was to keep the depolyment simple (i.e., minimize the number of files,
this has a minimum of three: html, xml, and xsl) and reasonably self contained.
My customer develops a niche industry application and installation of xml
processing engines would have been frowned upon. Thanks all for your help.
Regards,
April
