assigning value to an xsl variable

[tanuja_goturi]

hi,

is it possible to assign a value to an xsl variable in a javascript function

i have a set of radio buttons....of the same group...

radio 1
radio 2

suppose the xsl variable is
<xsl:variable name="selOption"/>

when radio 1 is selected the value of selOption should be radio1
if radio 2 is selected the value of selOption should be radio2

based on the value of selOption variable, i need to display a table....

is this possible in xsl? if so how? Please help me...




Thanks in advance.

there is no way you can communicate to and from xsl to JavaScript

Basically, you need to load the XSL stylesheet into an object and use the stylesheet's DOM to locate and change the value of the parameter. I only know how to do it in from ASP file using VBScript (see below) but it should be possible to edit/translate this to meet your needs:

Dim oStyle, oSource, xslFile, xmlFile, newData, selectNode, oParam

' Create the XSL object
set oStyle = server.createobject(MSXML2.DOMDocument.3.0)
oStyle.async = false
oStyle.validateonparse = true

' Say where the XSL stylesheet is located
xslFile = replace(server.mappath("/"), "\", "/") & "stylesheet.xsl"

' Load the stylesheet
oStyle.load xslFile

' Prepare the data (specificImageID) that you wish to pass
newData = "'" & specificImageID & "'"

' This expression will be used to locate a parameter, called imageID,
that already exists in your stylesheet

selectNode = "/xsl:stylesheet/xsl:param[@name='imageID']"

' Pass data to XSL file
set oParam = oStyle.selectSingleNode(selectNode)
oParam.setAttribute "select", newData

' Create an XML object
set oSource = server.createobject(MSXML2.DOMDocument.3.0)
oSource.async = false
oSource.validateonparse = true

' Say where the XML file is located
xmlFile = replace(server.mappath("/"), "\", "/") & "pictures.xml"

' Load the stylesheet
oSource.load xmlFile

' Transform the XML using the now modified stylesheet
response.write oSource.TransformNode(oStyle)

Obviously, in your case the parameter is called selOption rather than imageID. Hope this helps.
