Hi,
     how to pass the node as a param from javascript to xslt?

for ex;
       javascript:
        function loadXml()
        {
         ....
         //node name as a parameter from javascript
         xslproc.addParameter("col1","Month");
        ........

        }

    Xslt:
        <?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:fx="#fx-functions" exclude-result-prefixes="msxsl fx">
            <xsl:output method="html" version="4.0" indent="yes" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"/>


          <xsl:param name="col1"/>

          <xsl:template match="dataroot" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
                  <xsl:for-each select="Inventry">
                      <xsl:value-of select="$col1"/>
                  </xsl:for-each>
            </xsl:template>
        </xsl:stylesheet>

    I want "$col1" must act as like below;

    ...........
          <xsl:value-of select="Month"/>
    .........

    Of course, value-of select returns string of $col1 as "Month". How can I convert "Month" string as a Node Name?
Pls help me...!

Thanks in Advance

It looks to me as if you are not trying to pass a node from the Javascript to the XSLT, rather you are trying to pass a string that contains the name of a node.

If $col1 is the name of an element then you can select the corresponding elements using something like

select="*[local-name()=$col1]"

You can't do it the way you are trying to do it. You'd have to include a msxml:script element in your stylesheet to parse the string I think, something like this:

<msxsl:script language="JScript" implements-prefix="mylib">
    function getNode(root, string) {
      return root.selectSingleNode(string);
    }
</msxsl:script>

(disclaimer: I haven't tested this function, so it might not work, but hopefully it will set you off in the right direction).

(or use Michael's solution, which is probably easier, doh!)
