That is correct.

XSLT has no way of resolving the value. So far as I know, Microsoft is the only major XSLT processor that offers an extension that permits javascript to be used in custom functions during a transformation. It's the secret stuff inside IE that does the resolution.

Subject:  Re:  How To Call XSL Template With Parameter From OnClick Event

Hello all,

    I apologize if this has gone out twice, but apparently I had a
setting which caused an attachment to go through with the mail, so I am
resending.  I have a question regarding this recent post, and would
appreciate some clarification.  Here's the snippet that my questions
stem from:

                   <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
                    <!-- //
                         function callDetail(item_no)
                         {
                              <xsl:call-template name="detail">
                                   <xsl:with-param name="item_input">
                                        <xsl:value-of
select="$item_no"/>
                                   </xsl:with-param>
                              </xsl:call-template>
                         }
                    // End -->
                    </script>

At the point where the transformation takes place, the XSL processor has
no knowledge of the item_no variable, correct?  The transformation is
happening before any javascript is realized, so how is it the
transformation knows about this variable?  Is it simply passing
*something* along to the template to be used?  How can the value-of be
resolved?  Sorry for the confusion, but I am curious........

Thanks.
Tom
