Re: [xsl] passing parameter via asp

["Agnes kielen" <a dot kielen at home dot nl>]

Hello Kit,
I'm not using asp, but do the transformation on the client-side. Anyway
maybe I can help. I solved the same kind of problem entirely with
javascript.

function getParameters () {
 var i= 0; //iterator
 var field = null; //fieldname
 var value = null; //fieldvalue
 var pair = null; //pair name-value
 var pairs = null; // array with pairs
 var form= null; //form object
 var length=null; //number of elements at the form

 form = document.forms[0];
 length  = form.elements.length;
 pairs = new Array((length-1));
// -1 because last form element is a button

 for (i=0; i<(length-1); i++){
  field = form.elements[i].name;
  value = form.elements[i].value;
  pair = new Array(2);
  pair[0] = field;
  pair[1] = value;
  pairs[i] = pair;

  pair = null;
 }
 return pairs;
}

This code retrieves all values from a form and sets it in an array of pairs.
Each pair contains one field name and one value. I added the values to the
xsl with the help of the code I send you earlier.

function doTransform (xmlDom, xslDom, pairs, skip){
 var template = new ActiveXObject ("MSXML2.XSLTemplate");
    template.stylesheet=xslDom;
    var processor=template.createProcessor();
    processor.input=xmlDom;

 //add Parameters first skip and then search parameters
  processor.addParameter("skipnr", skip);

 if (pairs != ''){
  var length = pairs.length;
  //alert ("length of pairs is: " + length);
  for (var i=0; i<length; i++) {
   var pair = pairs[i];
   if (pair[1] != ''){
    //alert ("Fieldname of pair" + i + " is: " + pair[0] + ", value is: " +
pair[1]);
    processor.addParameter(pair[0], pair[1]);
   }

   pair = '';
  }
 }

As you can see the parameters are added to the processor just before the
transformation is done.

If you want more code or explanation. Please let me know, but not on this
list, because it is not really the topic of this list.

Good luck,
Agnes
