Can we pass parameters from a Javascript function to an XSL file

[solomon alexander]

Hi,

I would like to know whether it is possible to pass parameters from a javascript function (in a HTML form) to an XSL file.
Your help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Javascript? HTML? We have a forum dedicated to those things...

What relationship exists between the HTML file and the XSL sheet?

Hi,

I have a HTML form, which has a javascript function.
What i need to do is , pass a parameter from a javascript function and access that from XSL tags.
This parameter is not static , it is a HTML form field. This will come dynamically to XSL and needs to be accessed via XSL tag.

Could you let me know, whether it is possible?

Thanks
Solomon

The relationship is : HTML form will have fields and a search button. User will perform search by entering the search fields and hit search button. The data needs to be pulled out from an XML file which uses a XSL stylesheet and convert the XML data into HTML

Your reply did nothing to describe the relationship between the HTML form and the XML file.

I have an HTML form. This form has the fields Title,Artist,Company,Country,Company,Price,Year and a search button.
User needs to enter the search fields and hit the submit button. A Javascript function will be invoked. This function will load the XML file and the XSL file as well. Then it transforms the XML data into HTML. The search needs to be done against the XML file and display the data in HTML.
Basically we need to convert the XML data into HTML data.
Everything should happen at the client side.

I think this can be achieved by Ajax, however it needs a web server like Apache Web Server.
I would like it get this done on the client side.

Let me know, if it is possible.

Thanks

I still don't see where this XML file is supposed to be coming from. Let me put it this way: You can't access the client machine's file system from Javascript, so if you were expecting to get the XML file from there, you won't be able to do that.
