Re: Dynamic XSL filtering using ASP

Hello Amrit,

your best bet is to go to www.bayes.co.uk/xml

and go through the beer tutorial and page filtering examples

essentially u will need to inject a param into your stylesheet

to pass the param so that <xsl:param /> can find it..... each XSLT processor
has a different method.

with IE u use a bit of clientside script, would suggest starting there
first.

so the 'date' u speak of would be the parameter being injected.....

how to do pattern matching in your stylesheet, first things first though,

cheers, jim fuller
