Dear Joe,

Thanks for the quick answer.

I guess you are talking about this example:


// Load data.
var source = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.3.0");
source.async = false;
source.load("hello.xml");
if (source.parseError.errorCode != 0) {
   var myErr = source.parseError;
   WScript.Echo("You have error " + myErr.reason);
} else {
   // Load style sheet.
   var stylesheet = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.3.0");
   stylesheet.async = false;
   stylesheet.load("hello.xsl");
   if (stylesheet.parseError.errorCode != 0) {
      var myErr = stylesheet.parseError;
      WScript.Echo("You have error " + myErr.reason);
   } else {
      // Set up the resulting document.
      var result = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.3.0");
      result.async = false;
      result.validateOnParse = true;
      // Parse results into a result DOM Document.
      WScript.Echo(source.transformNodeToObject(stylesheet, result));
   }
}

Unfortunately, this is doing the reverse, calling a XSL transform from
Jscript. What I need is calling JScript from XSLT.
The following is the closest I found to what I need:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
      xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
      xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
      xmlns:user="http://mycompany.com/mynamespace";>

<msxsl:script language="JScript" implements-prefix="user">
   function xml(nodelist) {
      return nodelist.nextNode().xml;
   }
</msxsl:script>

<xsl:template match="/">
   <xsl:value-of select="user:xml(.)"/>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

However what I do not understand is, how to get an object that can be
saved in the msxsl:script block.

All the best,

Chris
