Hey Gary,

Not natively within xsl 1.0 or via msxsl extension functions ... I'm not
familiar with XSLT 2.0, but since you're using msxml, that's a bit off on
the otherside of the horizon.

You'd have to roll your own node-list factory from within a custom msxsl
script extension.

Something like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
 xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
 xmlns:jscript="jscript">
 <msxsl:script implements-prefix="jscript" language="JScript"><![CDATA[
   var xml = new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument.4.0");
   xml.async=false;
   function create_nodelist(sxml)
   {
     if(xml){
       if(xml.loadXML(sxml)){
         var x = xml.documentElement;
         if(x)
	return x.selectNodes("/");
         else
	return x;
        }
        else
	return xml.documentElement;
      }
      else
         return 0;
      }
    function pData(){
      return create_nodelist("<name id='3'>Rum and Coke</name>");
     }
 ]]></msxsl:script>
<xsl:template match="/">
<out>
<xsl:copy-of select="jscript:pData()"/>
</out>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Cheers,
Jeff

Subject:  creating an rtf/node-set from <script> function

ultimately, I'm trying to create a node-set (via node-set()) from a string
returned from script. below is a snippet of my code. variable $dt works
like a great <xsl:value-of select="msxsl:node-set($dt)/name"/>. however,
variable $st doesn't. is there a way to convert a string, say returned from

script, into an rtf or node-set?
.
.
.
<msxsl:script language="JavaScript" implements-prefix="myScript">
<![CDATA[
function pData()
pData = "<name id='3'>Rum and Coke</name>"
end function
]]>
</msxsl:script>
.
.
.
<xsl:variable name="dt">
<name id='7'>Harvey Wallbanger</name>
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:variable name="st">
<xsl:value-of select="myScript:pData()"/>
</xsl:variable>

Thanks
