I was trying to use Jeni's technique to use xsl:sort instead of the order-by , < file1.xsl > <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:param name="sortkey" select="'NAME'"/> /// default <xsl:for-each select="RECORD"> <xsl:sort select="*[name()=$sortkey]"/> /// call from script <SCRIPT FOR="window" EVENT="onload"> xslTarget.innerHTML = source.transformNode(style.XMLDocument); sortField = style.XMLDocument.selectSingleNode("//xsl:param"); </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language='vbscript'> function sort(field) sortField.setAttribute "select","'"+ field +"'" xslTarget.innerHTML = source.transformNode(style.XMLDocument) end function </SCRIPT> This works fine but I had a problem trying to assign value's directly to the <<xsl:sort>> node something like this file1.xsl ------------------------------------------------------------------------- sortField = style.XMLDocument.selectSingleNode("//xsl:sort"); file1.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------- sortField.setAttribute "select","'"+ field +"'" In this case I dont really see the xsl:param node to be any different from the xsl:sort node. my question is what is so special about the xsl:sort node ???? why does it act differently ??????????????????????

Given these conditions, you can use something similar to the sample at http://msdn.microsoft.com/xml/samples/portfolio/sort.htm the basic idea is the you use javascript to create the filtered/sorted output and use DHTM .innerHTML to place this in an element somewhere. The example above does not do any pretty formatting, but I pointed to it because it should be easy to understand, and you should be able to see from there if you will need to change the way the DOM is accessed or something to make it compatible with Netscape 6 when it releases. Also you may want to experiement with that version calling XSLT transform. The basic idea is to use DHTML DOM, which is illustrated there though. For a dynamic client sort sample with prettier formatting, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/xml/samples/stock-sorter/stock-sorter.xml.
