RE: [xsl] Chris Bayes tutorial: xsl:sort

Chris,

I am trying to implement your "roundtrip to the server" suggestion as
follows:

............ (remains the same as in tutorial)
 <html>
   <body>
     ** <form>
   **<input type="hidden" name="column"/>
       <center>
       <h1>Beers</h1>
       <table width="80%" bgcolor="#FF8800">
         <tr>
            ** <td
onclick="form.column.value='name';form.submit()">Name</td>
            ** <td
onclick="form.column.value='origin';form.submit()">Origin</td>
            ** <td
onclick="form.column.value='type';form.submit()">Type</td>
            ** <td
onclick="form.column.value='quality';form.submit()">Quality</td>
         </tr>
             <xsl:if test="$column='name'">
               <xsl:apply-templates select="beer">
                    <xsl:sort select="name" order="ascending" />
               </xsl:apply-templates>

               ...........(remains the same as in tutorial)
         ** </form>
     </body>
   </html>
 ........... (remains the same as in tutorial)

**Is this what you meant?

Thanks.

Tanz

Tanz,
Not on the client using xml/xsl.
You can on the client using javascript but i haven't seen any good
implementations of this.
You can on the client using databound controls.
You could roundtrip to the server to sort but it is slow. To do it you just
add a <form... and a hidden field <input type="hidden" name="column" then
change the onclick="form.column.value='column';form.submit()"
