Hi Steve,
I would like the javascript code that will do the client side filtering
using Active-X. I am using msxml2 version 3 in replace mode and the browser
is IE6. I have been trying to do client side sorting and filtering using
this script taken from www.bayes.co.uk :

function filter(userFirstName){
	try{
		var s = new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument");
		var x = document.XMLDocument;
		if (x == null){
			x = navigator.XMLDocument;
			s.loadXML(navigator.XSLDocument.xml);
		}else{
			s.loadXML(document.XSLDocument.xml);
		}
		var tem = new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.XSLTemplate");
		tem.stylesheet = s;
		var proc = tem.createProcessor();
		proc.addParameter("userFirstName", userFirstName);
		proc.input = x;
		proc.transform();
		var str = proc.output;

		var newDoc = document.open("text/html");
		newDoc.write(str);
		navigator.XMLDocument = x;
		navigator.XSLDocument = s;
		newDoc.close();
	}catch(exception){
	}
}

I have incuded alerts all over the script and it craps on
navigator.XMLDocument as undefined.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Sam Awad

We do this running Microsoft Windows 2000 web server and XML 4.0 parser.
Active Server Pages (ASP) does the transformation and it is very
straightforward.  We also have a non-ASP version that does the XML to
XSL transformation using JavaScript but this works on Internet Explorer
only as it uses an Active-X, etc.  (We only really use that version when
distributing the site on CD-ROM.)

Our entire site is XML-based.

As an example, one path visitors can take allows them to select a year,
then see all the training courses for that year, grouped by month or
topic.  Then they can click a month and see a calendar for that month or
a schedule for that course, etc.  If your site will be running Windows
2000 web server, or if others are interested, I can provide the code.
(Steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) It is all pretty cut and paste and works great.

Hope this helps.

I would like to develop a web site that involve allowing a user to
choose a value from a combo box and then connect them to a site that
filters a xml file from which item they have selected.

For Example:
If the user has a combo box with zip codes in it. When they select a zip
codethey are led to another site that only shows the records with the
specified zip code.

Can someone point me to the right direction? If someone knows a site
that has an example like this please let me know.

Thanks,
James

XML Example:
<Addresses>
        <Address>
            <StreetAddress>My Street</StreetAddresss>
            <City>My City</City>
            <State>OHIO</State>
            <Zip>45111</Zip>
        </Address>
        <Address>
            <StreetAddress>My Street 2</StreetAddresss>
            <City>My City 2</City>
            <State>OHIO</State>
            <Zip>45141</Zip>
        </Address>
        <Address>
            <StreetAddress>My Street 3</StreetAddresss>
            <City>My City 3</City>
            <State>OHIO</State>
            <Zip>45211</Zip>
        </Address>
</Addresses>
