access html form field in xsl

medSwa · October 14th, 2011, 07:16 PM

hello, My main xsl has a html input field whose value i want to assign to a xsl variable
(this is parent page and a pop up which opened from this had set a value for this input field in this parent)
i want to use this variable as a counter for some logic inside xsl.
i tried if javascript could help and tried this

Code:

<xsl:value-of select="js:getCodeCount()*"/>

but looks like xsl doesnt have anything like accessing javascript to assign to a variable.

Please help.

There usually is no interaction between XSLT and Javascript. XSLT might be done on the server and Javascript on the client. And even if you use client-side XSLT it is performed first and only once it is finished and its result document is rendered client-side Javascript can be used to open popup windows or read out input field values.
