Hi !
I am working on my first XML/XSL project : an encyclopedia for my students.
I have finally learned to use Javascript in my xsl page, linking the script
to a button which is placed in my xsl page (within the Body tags).
Now, I need something more. I am asking here, after going through alot of
previous messages of this list (which were indeed very helpfull up to now).
1. Given this XML element :
<ROOT>
<SEE_PICTURE>
<IMAGE href="../gifjpg/a/abydos01.jpg"></IMAGE>
</SEE_PICTURE>
</ROOT>
2. I have this Javascritp in my xsl :
<script language="JavaScript">
<![CDATA[function image(){
window.open(' NOT YET DEFINED ');
}
]]>
</script>
3. THEN, given This part in the BODY of my xsl :
<TR>
<xsl:apply-templates select="ROOT/SEE_PICTURE"/>
</TR>
4. And finally this in the transformation section on my xsl :
<xsl:template match="SEE_PICTURE">
<TR><xsl:apply-templates /></TR>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="IMAGE">
<a>
<xsl:attribute name="href">
<xsl:value-of select="@href"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<button
name="image"
STYLE="BACKGROUND-COLOR:
#CECEA5;cursor:hand;width:50;height:25;text-align:absmiddle;"
onClick="image()"><img src="../../../a_icones/oeil2.jpg" width="50"
height="25"/>
</button>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</a>
</xsl:template>
When I pass the cursor over the button, in IE5, I can see that it's calling
the proper image from the xml element. When I click, a window opens, but
naturally without the image.
I would like to know how to make the method "WINDOW.OPEN" work with a
variable that would get the information which is stored in the IMAGE
element of my xml, so putting the image in the opening window. I will have
340 different xml pages, one for each expression of the encyclopedia.
I do hope that I was clear enough. BTW, my approach might as well be
totally... incorrect....
Thanks for your attention and help.
