RE: How to put a value-of select into a variable.

[John Dunn <johnd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, I have only tried this with IE5, but it does work. Search the MSDN
site for XMLDOMNode; that is where I got the information about attributes
and getNamedItem.

Hi 

  Did you try this in IE5? 
  Also where did you get the information on attributes.getNamedItem? 

Thanks.

	I was able to accomplish that with the following code: 
  
  <xsl:template match="/Item"> 
      <xsl:eval>hextodec(attributes.getNamedItem( 'id' ).text)</xsl:eval> 
  </xsl:template> 
  
  <xsl:script> 
    <![CDATA[ 
    function hextodec(item) 
    { 
      return parseInt( item, 16 ); 
    } 
    ]]> 
  </xsl:script> 

	when I have the following XML object 
  
<Item id='0x23' /> 
  
I am pretty sure that <xsl:eval> is Microsoft Parser Specific, and probably 
would choke any other parser. If anyone has a better method than this, let 
me know - this was done using the time-honored 'guess and check' method of 
programming.

	Hi. 

	   I was hopping someone knows how to put a   
  <xsl:value-of select="@name"/> into a variable so that I can pass 
the information to a JavaScript function defined in the XSL style sheet. 

	Thanks.
