Hi all,
Imagine I have a set of nodes like this:
<root>
<a>
<b>
<c>
<d>
<e>
</a>
<a>
<b>
<c>
<d>
<e>
</a>
</root>
I apply a stylesheet to the xml to output a table that displays certain
elements of each <a> such as:
<tr>
<td>b , c, d</td>
</tr>
Say I want to include a button next to that row that, when clicked, opens a
window displaying -all- the elements for that <a>.
I can do this by calling a javascript function, passing the position of the
<a> node as a parameter, and using the DOM to extract the information I
want. However, this currently relies on me hard-coding the name of the xml
file (xmlObj.load('xmlfile')) into the function, which then makes the
stylesheet useless for all but one xmlfile.
If you understand what Im asking ;) is there a better way of doing this?
Thanks to anyone on my wavelength, apolgies to everyone else
cheers
andrew
