Hi Martin,
I have tried your suggestion and it didn't worked out. It is popping up
an error message saying :
Unknown method.
/UserInfo/Contacts/Name[-->contains(.<--,"Apple")]
The following is the code which i have written:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
Body {font-family:Arial; }
th {font-size:0.8em;}
td {font-size:0.8em;}
p {font-size:0.8em;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<xml id="UserInfo" src="test.xml"></xml>
<p>Enter Name: <input type='text' name=col_no style='border:1px solid
#d2d2d2'>
<input type=button name='Search' value='Search Now' style='border:1px
solid black;height=20px'onClick='javascript
:var sepvar
= col_no.value;
SetAndFilter(UserInfo,DataExtractLower,"UserInfo/Contacts/Name[contains(.,\"Apple\")]")'></p>
<xml id="DataExtractLower"></xml>
<table datasrc="#DataExtractLower" width=100% border=0>
<thead bgcolor="#d2d2d2">
<th>Name</th>
<th>Location</th>
<th>Phone</th>
<th>Extn</th>
<th>Title</th>
<th>Department</th>
</thead>
<tr bgcolor="#e2e2e2">
<td width="15%"><span datafld="Name"></span></td>
<td width="15%"><span datafld="Location"></span></td>
<td width="15%"><span datafld="Phone"></span></td>
<td width="15%"><span datafld="Extn"></span></td>
<td width="20%"><span datafld="Desig"></span></td>
<td width="20%"><span datafld="DeptCC"></span></td>
</tr>
</table>
<script language=javascript>
function SetAndFilter (sourceXML, destXML, XPathFormula) {
alert(XPathFormula);
sourceXML.setProperty("SelectionLanguage", "XPath");
var dummy = destXML.XMLDocument.loadXML(sourceXML.xml);
vNodesToRemove = destXML.selectNodes(XPathFormula) ;
vNodesToRemove.removeAll();
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
So, whatever the user types in should check for the initial characters
of both firstname and last name.
If a user enters "cla" then it should bring back "Michael clark" as
well as "clark michael"
Hope my question is understandable. I learnt a way to program to
display xml like html tables using data islands...
