Subject: Re: [xsl] RE: How to pass VBScript variable in XSL code
When I do something similar, I simply print out all the descriptions
into hidden divs with a unique ID. Then, of course, have the Script
choose which div based on the select value.

Hello,
I have a dropdown list populated from XML. Now, based on the selection
on the dropdown the onclick event is expected to display the description
of the function. The idea is to get the index of the selected list item
and display the corresponding description node from the XML. I have
tried several ways to pass the value to the xsl tags. I tried
Concatenating the string "<xsl:value-of select=""functiontitle/funcdef["
& i & "]/funcdesc"" />". This did not work (obviously... xsl didn't like
it).
I also tried to define a namespace and declare a variable and trying
to solve it by passing a variable to it. I don't know what I maybe
missing, cause I am getting an error "Namespace
'http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace' does not contain any functions."
I would really appreciate any help on this one! Thanks in Advance!
The original XSL Goes like this:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:template name="dropdown-button">
<h2>User Defined Functions Dropdown List</h2>
< script language="VBScript" >
function SetVal()
for i=1 to 6
if UCAse(document.getElementById(i).selected) = "TRUE" then
document.form1.functionName.value=document.getElementById(i).innerHTML
document.form1.functiondescription.value = "<xsl:value-of
select="functiontitle/funcdef[i]/funcdesc" />"
Exit For
End if
Next
End function
</msxsl:script>
<form name="form1">
<table border = "0">
<tr>
<td>
<b>Select a function</b>
</td>
<td>
<select name="functionList" id="first">
<xsl:variable name="my-var">
<xsl:value-of select = "1"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:for-each select="functiontitle/funcdef">
<xsl:variable name="funcid">
<xsl:value-of select = "id"/>
</xsl:variable>
<option id="{$funcid}">
<xsl:value-of select="funcname"/>
</option>
</xsl:for-each>
</select>
</td>
<td>
<input id="second" name="Details" type ="button" value="Click here
for Details!" onclick="SetVal()"/>
</td>
</tr>
<table id="third" name="hiddentable" border="1">
<div>
<tr>
<td>
<input id="fourth" type="text" name="functionName" />
</td>
<td>
<input id="fifth" type="text" name="functiondescription" />
</td>
</tr>
</div>
</table>
</table>
</form>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<xsl:call-template name="dropdown-button" />
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The XSL with Namespace and variable goes like this:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"

<xsl:template name="dropdown-button">
<h2>User Defined Functions Dropdown List</h2>
<msxsl:script language="VBScript" implements-prefix="vb_user">
function SetVal()
for i=1 to 6
if UCAse(document.getElementById(i).selected) = "TRUE" then
document.form1.functionName.value=document.getElementById(i).innerHTML
Set SetVal = i
Exit For
End if
Next
End function
</msxsl:script>
<form name="form1">
<table border = "0">

</table>
</form>

The XML is like this:
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="todropdown.xsl"?>

<funcdef >
<id>1</id>
<funcname >flNVGLogin</funcname>
<funcdesc >This function logs into CMM app</funcdesc>
