  1. POHow do I pass a parameter from ASP to XSL?
    text
    copied!<p>I'm writing a simple asp page to show a team rota based on some XML. Here's the XML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;rota&gt; &lt;shift date="20091201" primary="Chan" secondary="John" notes="notes"&gt;&lt;/shift&gt; &lt;shift date="20091202" primary="Mike" secondary="Alex" notes="notes"&gt;&lt;/shift&gt; &lt;shift date="20091203" primary="Ross" secondary="Mike" notes="notes"&gt;&lt;/shift&gt; &lt;shift date="20091204" primary="Neil" secondary="Ross" notes="notes"&gt;&lt;/shift&gt; &lt;/rota&gt; </code></pre> <p>I want my asp page to show today's rota details and maybe the details for the next couple of days. Since later on I'd like to be able to set a day in the future to see who's working around then I want to be able to pass a YYYYMMDD date from the ASP to the XSL that processes the XML.</p> <p>Here's the XSL I have so far, just highlighting the hardcoded 'current' date for now:</p> <p> </p> <pre><code>&lt;xsl:template match="rota"&gt; &lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;title&gt;Team Rota&lt;/title&gt; &lt;LINK type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.csfb.net/homepage/global/scripts/csfb_intranet.css"/&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;table border="1"&gt; &lt;TR&gt;&lt;TH&gt;Date&lt;/TH&gt;&lt;TH&gt;Primary&lt;/TH&gt;&lt;TH&gt;Secondary&lt;/TH&gt;&lt;TH&gt;Notes&lt;/TH&gt;&lt;/TR&gt; &lt;xsl:for-each select="shift"&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;xsl:choose&gt; &lt;xsl:when test="@date = '20091203'"&gt; &lt;td bgcolor='FFF0F0'&gt;&lt;xsl:value-of select="@date"/&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/xsl:when&gt; &lt;xsl:otherwise&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;xsl:value-of select="@date"/&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/xsl:otherwise&gt; &lt;/xsl:choose&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;xsl:value-of select="@primary"/&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;xsl:value-of select="@secondary"/&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;xsl:value-of select="@notes"/&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/xsl:for-each&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; </code></pre> <p></p> <p>and here's the ASP, not yet passing any parameters:</p> <pre><code>''// Load the XML sourcefile = "rota.xml" set source = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM") source.async = false source.load(sourceFile) ''// Load the XSL styleFile = Server.MapPath("rota.xsl") set style = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM") style.async = false style.load(styleFile) htmltext = source.transformNode(style) Response.Write htmltext </code></pre> <p>So how do I a) pass a parameter to the XSL and b) pick up that parameter and use it in the XSL?</p> <p>Thanks for any guidance.</p>
