RE: [xsl] Filtering XML with XSL

["Sam Awad" <sammy_awad@xxxxxxxxx>]

Chuck,

No, That's not what I meant. I test the xsl sheet using a stand alone xml
file as well. But the filter javascript only works when I remove the entries
to load the xsl file from the document object and load it from a file
located on the file system instead like this (same thing for the xml file):

function filter(userFirstName){

		var s = new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument");
                s.async="False";
//		var x = document.XMLDocument;
		var x = "./EmployeeAD.xml";

//		if (x == null){
//			x = navigator.XMLDocument;
//			s.loadXML(navigator.XSLDocument.xml);
//		}else{
//			s.loadXML(document.XSLDocument.xml);
			s.load("./Main-EmployeeAD.xsl");
		}
		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;
}

Cheers,

Are you saying that the script works okay if you are using a standalone,
static XML file with a PI pointing to the stylesheet? This is how I tested
it, and it worked okay. The fact you're running through Active Directory may
be the reason for your problems, but it sounds like your the document is
loading okay at first.

Well, if you do that, be sure you call the correct objects for MSXML 4:
Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument.4.0
and
Msxml2.XSLTemplate.4.0
