Re: Passing parameters to XSL using MSXML

Title: Re: Passing parameters to XSL using MSXML

The MS XMLDOM component doesn't support the xsl:param element.

Try this for documentation on what you are trying to accomplish:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/xml/XSLGuide/xsl-advanced.asp
or this for a broader brush:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/xml/XSLGuide/default.asp

Be aware that what works for the MS XSL namespace doesn't necessarily work with the W3 namespace, and vice versa, depending on the elements you're using.

Valid MS XSL elements are:
xsl:stylesheet, xsl:attribute,  xsl:choose, xsl:comment, xsl:copy, xsl:element, xsl:for-each,  xsl:if, xsl:eval,  xsl:otherwise,  xsl:pi (xsl:processing-instruction in current draft),  xsl:script  (for global variables and extensions),  xsl:stylesheet, xsl:template,  xsl:value-of, xsl:when

Subject: Passing parameters to XSL using MSXML

Hi,

the ability to pass parameters to an XSL stylesheet is really convenient. Certain command line XSL processors, like instant-saxon, can accept additionnal parameters that you retrieve with <xsl:param>.

I'm looking for a way to do exactly the same thing with MSXML in an ASP-based site (see above for further details). Unfortunately I couldn't find any complete reference of Microsoft.XMLDOM component, so I don't happen to know how to feed it with parameters after having passed the XML and XSL. I don't even know whether <xsl:param> is supported by this processor or not.

Thanks for any answer,

Sebastien
