70369 - RFE: Javascript method to initialize template parameters before transforming a document programatically.

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: XSLT, defect, P5)

Description

[Sean Chitwood]

I think we should look at a way of exposing the ability to initialize template
parameters before transforming documents.

example code

doc = getDocument("http://foo/data.xml")
sheet = getDocument("http://foo/sheet.xsl")
sheet.parameters("start",1)
sheet.parameters("end",100)

doc.transform(sheet)


anyway I'm sure my example code is very different from how this would endup
working but I thin you get the idea. This would allow more generalized
stylesheets to be created.

An example of a good use for this would be an XML Slide presentation. The entire
presentation could be contained in one file then the stylesheet could be
manipulated programatically and reapplied to change the slide.

for transfomations using JS
