I'm trying to call an xsl:template within a java script.
But the template "simp" is not called.
Please Follow the code snippet I am trying to implement.
If anybody have ideas on how to work xsl with javascript,please share.

<script language="javascript">
          var a=0;
          function s()
          {
    alert("hai");
    <xsl:call-template name="simp">
    <xsl:with-param name="a" select="2"/>
    </xsl:call-template>
              }
      </script>

    <xsl:template name="simp">
    <xsl:param name="a"/>
    <xsl:value-of select="$a"/>
    </xsl:template>

You'll have to explain the context a bit more. If you are trying to construct client-side script using XSLT then that's perfectly valid. If you are trying to apply templates whilst running the script then that's not possible.

Make sure you've got the process clear in your mind

• XSLT transforms XML to HTML
• HTML interpreted by browser and client-side script executed

Once you move to step two then XSLT is a distant memory.

My requirement is like this.

I need to repeat the header between every 10th line in my xsl.
For most of the files I have done it with <xsl:if test="position() mod 10 = 1">
and succeded.
In one of the file I am not able to implement the same logic since the position() is changing frequently.

I know that in xsl reassigning of variable is not possible.

Since the for-loop is followed by a if condition the position value changes.

I want to find out how many times this if condition gets satisfied?

 <xsl:for-each select="/job/summary/sunAlertReport/rs:sunAlertReportSummary/rs:sunAlertSummaryList/rs:sunAlertSummary/rs:sunAlertId[generate-id()=generate-id(key(&apos;distinct-segcode&apos;,.))]">
                                    <xsl:sort order="ascending" select="."/>
                                    <xsl:variable name="SA" select="."/>
                                    <xsl:if test="count(/job/summary/sunAlertReport/rs:sunAlertReportSummary/rs:sunAlertSummaryList/rs:sunAlertSummary[rs:sunAlertId=$SA]/rs:oriNext/rs:oriNextList/rs:oriRule[rs:severity = 'Critical']) &gt; 0">

Try changing the <xsl:if> condition to be a predicate on the select expression of the xsl:for-each, so position() counts the elements that satisfy the condition.

Michael,

I am new to xsl.Can I see any example on how to use this predicate?

Wherever you see something like

<xsl:for-each select="x/y/z">
  <xsl:if test="a = b">
    ... something ...
  </xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>

it can be replaced by

<xsl:for-each select="x/y/z[a = b]">
    ... something ...
</xsl:for-each>

The only difference is that it changes the values of position() and last() to reflect the items you are actually processing.

Mich,

I tried as you told. But it seems like the if condition is not satisfied if we used like
this.

Previously it was like this:

<xsl:for-each select="/job/summary/sunAlertReport/rs:sunAlertReportSummary/rs:sunAlertSummaryList/rs:sunAlertSummary/rs:sunAlertId[generate-id()=generate-id(key(&apos;distinct-segcode&apos;,.))]">
                                    <xsl:sort order="ascending" select="."/>
                                    <xsl:variable name="SA" select="."/>
<xsl:if test="count(/job/summary/sunAlertReport/rs:sunAlertReportSummary/rs:sunAlertSummaryList/rs:sunAlertSummary[rs:sunAlertId=$SA]/rs:oriNext/rs:oriNextList/rs:oriRule[rs:severity = 'Critical']) &gt; 0">


After change:
=============


 <xsl:for-each select="/job/summary/sunAlertReport/rs:sunAlertReportSummary/rs:sunAlertSummaryList/rs:sunAlertSummary/rs:sunAlertId[generate-id()=generate-id(key(&apos;distinct-segcode&apos;,.))][count(/job/summary/sunAlertReport/rs:sunAlertReportSummary/rs:sunAlertSummaryList/rs:sunAlertSummary/rs:sunAlertId/rs:oriNext/rs:oriNextList/rs:oriRule[rs:severity = 'Critical']) &gt; 0]">
