Re: article segments

Hi.

Yes there is, and I've used this to modularise XSL until MS impliment
import and constants etc.

Anyhow, simply change your XSL file to an ASP file from say myFile.xsl to
myFile_xsl.asp is the convention I use, otherwise I quickly get confused.

If you get any problems with the file getting recognised due to incorrect
mime-type place...

<% Response.ContentType = "text/xml" %>

...At the top of the page, althouhg in practice I haven't needed that. Then
 you can simply pass in your parameters and grab them...

<%= Request("myParm") %>

... I am actualy using this more for generating my XML than in XSL where I
only really use it to cascade style specs throughout the site. So for
instance in one
particular file I have...

<column side="<%= Request('side') %>" present="<%= Request('present') %>"
width="<%= Request('width') %>">
     <label><%= Request('label') %></label>
     ........

I think all this hacking with ASP is likely to disappear in the end but
until everything pans out I'm finding ASP goo for workarounds, especialy in
 the area
of linking.

Good luck.

     Guy.

Subject:  article segments




I'm working on an article implemention and thought I'd be clever. Every
article are divided into different segments which will translate
to different pages, if the reader want's he should be able to view the
whole
article on a single page however. I though  a good way of controlling this
behaviour would be to pass parameters in the locationbar, something like:
http://www.whatever/article.asp?showpage=1
would only show the first page while
http://www.whatever/article.asp?showpage=all
would show all pages.
The problem how to implement this with the xsl template. I could set up a
different xsl template
for page nr 1 , page nr 2 etc etc but that seems veeeery unwieldy and
having
a different template for each page seems really stupid. Is there someway I
can pass parameters into the xsl template?
