How can I interact with javascript functions...using xslt...

I want to get xml file name using xslt..[Is that possible? if there is no attribute for the same; if yes please advice.]

for that I want to add javascript which will work while loading/processing the xml file and give me the file name.

my javascript code is like below...
which works fine in html
************************************************** *****************
<script language="JScript">
 function returnDocument()
  {
   var file_name = document.location.href;
   var end = (file_name.indexOf("?") == -1) ? file_name.length : file_name.indexOf("?");
   name = file_name.substring(file_name.lastIndexOf("/")+1, end);
   alert(name);
 }
</script>
************************************************** *****************

how can i implement the same in xslt for getting xml file's name?

example
mytest.xml [should be any name [not knowing before transform]]
mytest.xsl

while processing mytest.xsl on mytest.xml code automatically get file name of xml file i.e. "mytest" and should store in xslt inside a variable.


please help.

I am Desperately looking to this.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Use document-uri() function as shown below:
<xsl:variable name="file"><xsl:value-of select="document-uri(/)"></xsl:value-of></xsl:variable>

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:value-of select="document-uri(/)"></xsl:value-of>
<xsl:value-of select="$file"></xsl:value-of>
</xsl:template>

Hi,

Thanks for help.

Now my problem is,

I can use only xslt 1.0 [Our mechanism cant support xslt 2.0]

pls suggest is there any other way using xslt 1.0.

thanks again.

Mahesh

How do you pass the xml file to the stylesheet? If you run any exe (like instant saxon.exe, transform.exe) through command line, then the xml file name can be taken as parameter and inside the stylesheet the parameter value can be taken using <xsl:value-of select="">.

In XSLT 1.0 the only way for the stylesheet to discover the URI of the source document is by passing it explicitly as a stylesheet parameter from the calling application.

(Or, of course, you might be able to arrange for the XML source document to include its own URI in the content.)

Hi,

I cant pass the value explicitly as there are hundreds of xml files which are using only single xslt..

i am creating one html output file from all these xml input files.

And inside that html file; there is link for each generated html file [which is transformed by xml by other xslt]; which "SHOULD" be the file name only.

can I use javascript while processing on xml file and store filename in variable of xslt.

please suggest.

thanks for all your help.

Mahesh

No. If you show the process in more detail then I'm sure that there must be somewhere where you can inject the filename.

So, how does your application know what XML input files to process? At the point where it makes that decision, it knows the URI of the input file, so it can pass it to the transformation.

Thanks for all your help.

Let me show what I am doing;

1] I am using Arbortext Publishing Engine.
2] I am loading the .ditamap in arbortext.
3] .ditamap file contains only all href for the topics.
4] I am using xsl which should produce 1 single html file.
5] which should having hrefs for all other html files which are
   created previously by some other xslt [on the basis of filename
   (match used in this is very simple and for element which is inside
    .dita file and also that match not work here) ].
6] For that purpose I need file name in href so I can link
   appropriate html files.

Thanks.

Mahesh
