Using JavaScript with XML and XSL

fareeda

Is it possible to use JavaScript with XML and XSL?
I tried the following but it does not work.. anything missing?

test.xml file:
--------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO8859-1" ?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="test.xsl"?>
<REPORT>

<FOOTER>
<FIELD id="errors">
<KEY>Error Code</KEY>
<VALUE>2000145</VALUE>
</FIELD>
<FIELD id="configuration">
<KEY>DEBUG</KEY>
<VALUE>TRUE</VALUE>
</FIELD>
</FOOTER>

</REPORT>

test.xsl file:
--------------
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version='1.0'
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">

<HTML>
<BODY bgcolor="palegoldenrod">

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">

</SCRIPT>

<INPUT id="seeFooter" type="checkbox" LANGUAGE="javascript"

onclick="seeFooter_onclick()">FOOTER</INPUT>
<TABLE id="footer1" bgcolor="#d1d2d2" border="1" width="100%">
<xsl:for-each select="REPORT/FOOTER/FIELD">
<TR>
<TD width="40%"><xsl:value-of select="KEY"/></TD>
<TD><xsl:value-of select="VALUE"/></TD>
</TR>
</xsl:for-each>
</TABLE>

</BODY>
</HTML>

</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

The basic requirement is on the click of checkbox the <TABLE> should
disappear. But when i click the checkbox, browser generates an error.

I might also be posting this in the wrong newsgroup, so the pointer to
the right also would help

What you have below is simply some script in the HTML result document of
an XSLT transformation, that shouldn't pose any problems different from
using script directly in an HTML document.

Which browser is that, Mozilla or Netscape?
To make your script work with DOM compliant browsers like
Mozilla/Netscape you should use

function seeFooter_onclick () {
if (document.getElementById) {
var footer = document.getElementById('footer1');
if (footer && footer.style) {
footer.style.display = 'none';
}
}
}

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">

</SCRIPT>
You've got three problems here:
- you use the "language" attribute while you should prefer the "type"
attribute,
- you've enclosed the script part into comments, as a result it's not
even interpreted,
- you're using IE-specific object accessors, while using the standard
document.getElementById would make your script work on more platforms.

Note that it's usually recommended to externalize the script part in a
javascript include, to avoid parsing issues with the script content.
<INPUT id="seeFooter" type="checkbox" LANGUAGE="javascript"
An input element doesn't have a "language" attribute.
onclick="seeFooter_onclick()">FOOTER</INPUT>

An input element doesn't have any closing tag.
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet
version='1.0'
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">

<html>
<head>
<title>Hello, World!</title>
<style type="text/css">
body { background-color:palegoldenrod }
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
function seeFooter_onclick(){
if(document.getElementById){
with(document.getElementById("footer1"))
style.display=style.display=="none"?"":"none";
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="checkbox" onclick="seeFooter_onclick()" />
FOOTER
<table id="footer1" border="1" width="100%">
<xsl:for-each select="REPORT/FOOTER/FIELD">
<tr>
<td width="40%"><xsl:value-of select="KEY" /></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="VALUE" /></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</body>
</html>

</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
HTH,
Yep.
