I hope someone can help me with this simple question ...
I have a set of XML files which the users can open and view with the
formatting set by a single XSL file. This works great.
In the XSL file I have some processing using javascript. This also
works fine and, for example, the users can run some simple sorting using
the following call to javascript (also contained in the XSL):
<td class="top" onclick="sort('job_id');">Job</td>
Now I would like to pluck out some information from the XML and display
this in the header and, for this, I have written another little
javascript program called getheader(). I am trying to include this as a
simple display (i.e. without any clicking or activation) and am not sure
of the syntax.
For example, should it be ...
This ...
<B>javascript:getheader()</B>
.... or this ...
<B>getheader()</B>
.... or this ...
<B>"getheader();"</B>
.... or something else completely?
Here I find that IE falls over on the call so I think that I need to be
sure that I am calling my code correctly before I can start debugging it.
I am a bit embarrassed asking this simple question: I have found lots of
great examples on the internet but find that that often don't explain
how the procedures are called ... and I am a bit of a newbie to
javascript and XML.
Anyway, I hope that someone can help me or can point me towards a good
'HOWTO' or tutorial somewhere?
Many thanks for your help.
