[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Some general questions...
 I have some questions about things I am unsure of. I think all the questions are in the easy catagory. Hope at least one of you will take the time to answer the questions below :) Q1: I have "taken over" some xsl-stylesheets made by another. In this code there is a good textbook example of recursion as follows: <xsl:template name="Something"> <xsl:param name="sString"/> .. <xsl:call-template name="Something"> <!-- without s in template --> <xsl:with-param name="sString"> <xsl:value-of select="substring($sString, 2)"/> </xsl:with-param> </xsl:template> Problem is, I can't find anywhere in the code where "Something" is called (except in the template itself). I would guess that the function/template will never be used in the stylesheet, but is there perhaps another way of invoking a called template than <xsl:call template name="Something"> ..? Q2: Is it possible to load an XSL stylesheet using the command LoadXML(string) the same way as with an XML document. I have only seen examples of either oXML=load(/file) or oXML=loadXML(string) But only oXSL=load(/file) not oXSL=loadXML(string) I have been told that "of course" it is possible - XSL stylesheets are written in XML. But I have not been able to do this despite being (pretty) sure that the stylesheet is correct. I am using msxml3.0 working with VB, if this information is neccesary for solution. Q3: I know that the following question should be easily obtained from books on XSL, but what I have read does not seem to stick :( Unsure of scope when applying/calling <xsl:template match="This"> and <xsl:template name="That"> when the variable has been declared in <xsl:template match="First">: <xsl:template match="First"> <xsl:variable name="Question" select="'Range'"/> <xsl:call template name="That"/> <!-- Will "That" know about $Question ? --> <xsl:apply-template match="This"/> <!-- Will "This" know about $Question ? --> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="This"> .. </xsl:template> <xsl:template name="That"> .. </xsl:template> When do I have to pass what I want as parameters and when can I refer to a variable that has been declared not globaly but within an applied template? Thank you all Ragulf Pickaxe :) _________________________________________________________________ Join the world?s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
