AW: tableheader sort on date with DOM dynamically and

Hi Carsten,

thank you for your time to consider my newbie inquiery.

I included the javascript in the head, only for my question. It function
well, besides not using CDATA. In praxis i have external *.js to where i
referenced from my transformation stylesheet. Your example is too
complicated for my approach, where i try to use only standard mehtods, so
ActiveX is rejected in my way of doing dynamic transformation at the client
side. ( i now some folks, that have not enabled ActiveX for security
reasons)

That´s also the reason, i am aking me if i can rewrite the innerHTML
sequence in standard DOM, but have not found a answer in the www.

My idea is to reformat the date in a number selecting that into an @date
attribute and then sort by number by setting the the attribute data-type of
xsl:sort to number like:


datatype = xslDoc.selectSingleNode("//xsl:sort/@data-type");
					
				
					if (format == 'number'){
						datatype.text ="number";
					}	

etc

datatype.text = format;
sortby.text=field;
			
output.innerHTML = xmlDoc.documentElement.transformNode(xslDoc);
