Chris Bayes tutorial: xsl:sort - sorting according to

Chris,

I am going through your 'sort columns' tutorial. I am omitting the css
references in the xsl so that the following is used:
  <td onClick="sort('name');">Name</td>
  <td onclick="sort('origin');">Origin</td>
  <td onclick="sort('type');">Type</td>
  <td onclick="sort('quality');">Quality</td>

and hence there is only a reference to the javascript and filter.js file
within the "head" html tags.

I ran the xsl against the tutorial xml and the beer table html was formed.
However, the onclick function was not working - was there something in the
css file that was required?

Tanz

If you read the tutorial you will see that it does exactly what you asked.

xml is xml it doesn't matter where it comes from.

You could of course do a round trip to the server to sort the columns if you
want and you would do that by passing params to the stylesheet as i have
shown in the tutorial.
