 I am having trouble merging an XHTML and XML document into one. The key differentiator is that I am merging the docs using parameters rather than document() to load them, as they are already loaded in memory and I do not have access to the physical files at this point (nor would I wish to reload them when I already have the raw xml). Now in order to merge them I want to use an XSL transformation. The setup: I start by transforming a sample xml doc with a sample xsl doc to get some HTML... --------------------------------------------------------------------- sample.xml --------------------------------------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0"?> <data> <FirstName>Bruce</FirstName> <LastName>Lee</LastName> </data> --------------------------------------------------------------------- sample.xsl --------------------------------------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="html" indent="yes"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <body> <xsl:value-of select="FirstName"/> <br/> <input id="btnDoSomething" type="button" value="Do Something"/> </body> </html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> The result looks something like this...
<html xml...>
<body>
Bruce
<br/>
<input id="btnDoSomething" type="button" value="Do Something"/>
</body>
</html>Everything is coolio so far. The merge (and the problem):
Now I want to merge this resulting XHTML with a new XML file.
The new xml file I wish to use is...
---------------------------------------------------------------------
newsample.xml
---------------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<RenderingControl>
<ElementToBeChanged>
<Name>btnDoSomething</Name>
<RenderAs>Read-Only</RenderAs>
</ElementToBeChanged>
</RenderingControl>So I use the following XSL file with two parameters. The first parameter I pass in the XHTML from my first transformation, and the second parameter I pass in the raw xml from newsample.xml... --------------------------------------------------------------------- DocumentMerge.xsl --------------------------------------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/XSL/Transform/1.0"> <xsl:output method="xml" indent="no"/> <xsl:param name="param-1"/> <xsl:param name="param-2"/> <xsl:template match="/">
<NewPage>
<xsl:copy-of select="$param-1"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="$param-2"/>
</NewPage>
</xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet> I would expect the result to be a new XML file like...
<NewPage>
<html xml...>
<body>
Bruce
<br/>
<input id="btnDoSomething" type="button" value="Do Something"/>
</body>
</html>
<RenderingControl>
<ElementToBeChanged>
<Name>btnDoSomething</Name>
<RenderAs>Read-Only</RenderAs>
</ElementToBeChanged>
</RenderingControl>
</NewPage>Instead I get the xml repeated back to me. I assumed it had something to do with a built-in MSXML30 nuance (because of the little WC3 compliance stink) where they no longer implicitly cast parameters as node-sets - now treating the parameters as one giant string so I tried using the msxml extension function (including the msxml namespace declaration) as such... ... <xsl:copy-of select="msxml:node-set($app-data)"/> <xsl:copy-of select="msxml:node-set($sec-cred)"/> ... To no avail :( SaberBruce _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
