Of course, I could always call another stylesheet - one that displays all the elements - and pass to that the name/location of the node whose leaves I want it to display... but the problem still arises of how do I found out which XML file the stylesheet is currently being applied to? Or is it possible to have a temporary node-set in javascript (taken from the current xml), and apply the new stylesheet to that (so that it doesnt need to know the name of the current xml file)? So I guess Im asking, can you have a stylesheet that gets applied to some xml, that has a funtion (or whatever) that will apply another stylesheet to a section of the xml, without the stylesheet ever knowing the filename of the xml...(!) ? Once again, apologies to all that dont get my poor explanation, and the fact that its a little heavy for a friday afternoon andrew === -----Original Message----- From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Andrew Welch Sent: Friday, January 18, 2002 2:36 PM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [xsl] general problem Hi all, Imagine I have a set of nodes like this: <root> <a> <b> <c> <d> <e> </a> <a> <b> <c> <d> <e> </a> </root> I apply a stylesheet to the xml to output a table that displays certain elements of each <a> such as: <tr> <td>b , c, d</td> </tr> Say I want to include a button next to that row that, when clicked, opens a window displaying -all- the elements for that <a>. I can do this by calling a javascript function, passing the position of the <a> node as a parameter, and using the DOM to extract the information I want. However, this currently relies on me hard-coding the name of the xml file (xmlObj.load('xmlfile')) into the function, which then makes the stylesheet useless for all but one xmlfile. If you understand what Im asking ;) is there a better way of doing this? Thanks to anyone on my wavelength, apolgies to everyone else cheers andrew === XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
