Is this what you are referring to? There is an html drop down list with vbscript which allows columns in the table to be selected, and then a dropdown with ascending or descending. How can these values be passed to these variables? <xsl:sort order="{$order}" select="*[name()=$sortColumn]"/> tia, dk dynamically set the sort order Dimitre Novatchev > I am trying to dynamically set sort order and sort column in my > XSLT.

The "select" attribute can be any XPath expression. Certainly, an attempt to put an XPath expression in a variable and pass this variable as the (complete) value of the "select: attribute -- this will fail for xsl: sort as in any such attempt in XSLT, because XPath expressions are not evaluated dynamically. However, if you need to specify the name of a child element, then you can use an expression like this: *[name()=$sortColumn] Therefore, one possible way to achieve your wanted results is: <xsl:sort order="{$order}" select="*[name()=$sortColumn]"/> Original Message: ----------------- From: Dimitre Novatchev dnovatchev@xxxxxxxxx Date: Tue, 17 Jun 2003 20:06:20 +0200 To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: <xsl:sort select="borrower" order="descending"/> question http://dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N6461.html#d6859e950 ===== Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev. http://fxsl.sourceforge.net/ -- the home of FXSL <dmitrik@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote in message news:293580-220036217135613598@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > is there a way to pass a variable into the select > <xsl:sort select="borrower" order="descending"/> > > so that different values can be sorted in the xml? > > <xsl:for-each select="trades/trade"> > <xsl:sort select="borrower" order="descending"/> > > tia, > dk > > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > mail2web - Check your email from the web at > http://mail2web.com/ . > > > > XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list > > XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
