I see you have been working with ajaxslt for quite a while. That’s good, because I’m just starting (although I’m not a newbie coder).

I am trying to pass a value into my xsl via javascript, as you have shown above, but I can’t seem to get it to work. Please take a look at what I have and let me know if you can spot the error.

Any assistance you (or anyone else reading this) can offer, would be very much appreciated.

Thanks.

javascript:
function transform(strXML, strXSL) {
// strXML & strXSL are populated via ajax calls to the files,
// so they are just text.

var myXSL = xmlParse(strXSL);

// putHere is defined in the body as
//
var myNode = document.getElementById(‘putHere’);

var myContext = new ExprContext(strXML);
myContext.setVariable(“CURRENT_PAGE”, new StringValue(“TWO”));

xsltProcessContext(myContext, strXSL, myNode);
}

xsl content:

1

CURRENT_PAGE:

As a side note, the following javascript works, but I can’t figure out how to pass a param into the xsl.
function transform2(strXML, strXSL) {
var xml = xmlParse(strXML);
var xslt = xmlParse(strXSL);
var html = xsltProcess(xml, xslt);
document.getElementById(‘putHere’).innerHTML = html;
}

Within my firefox error console I see the following error:
“template.nodeName has no properties”

This blog seems to be about a year old, is there an updated way to do this now?

Thanks again.

I’m sorry for being so dense but I can’t quite figure out what you’re asking. Can you perhaps try re-stating your question or re-explaining what you’re trying to accomplish?

Thanks for the tutorial, I need a bit of assistance though. I am trying to pass values into an xml page through the url. I defaulted a parameter strParam = ‘None’. When I click a link in the html, I want it to load a parameter, which will make the page dynamic based on the conditions I set in the xslt.

http://www.webpage.com/myXML.xml?strParam=SomeValue

would you have some code on how to perform this. I tried Sarissa, but couldn’t figure it out. I think your implementation might work, just need a little more detail. I have very limited xslt background and none in javascript. I am using this format because I have limited resources and I need the site to be dynamic. I know the xslt works because I can compile it against saxon and the logic will work.

You are basically doing the same thing here:

I’m probably missing something that was already explained. Would you have an example javascript function, that sets the parameter? How would I call the javascript to trigger the parameter change, when the page reloads?

Thank you for your assistance – Jeremy

var node = document.createElement(‘output’);
xsltProcessContext(context, xsl, node);
var output = xmlText(node);

this is seriously tricky without documentation, guys…

in xpath.js :
“The four types are:
StringValue
NumberValue
BooleanValue
NodeSetValue”

xsl:template match=”page/message/things/thing[$theValue]”
…
/xsl:template
