Introduction

For demonstration purposes, we will create a simple search engine in which XSLT is used to iterate through the XML file (data retrieved from the database) to display the data based on the user entered criteria. It consists of user information, such as First Name, Last Name, Email, etc. Also we will give the user the ability to search in a specified category and in which order the data should be displayed. This option is hidden by default; a button is used to allow the user to specify more options to his or her search.

Throughout this article we have to complete the following steps.

· Create an XML document containing users' information.

· Create an XSL file which will navigate through the XML document.

· Write code behind to transform the XML into HTML.

Hi Haisaam,

This article is very good but somehow not working for me as I made small changes. I am loading this XSL and XML file directly in HTML using javascript. I do not get any search results.

If you can send me email where I can attach my XSL and HTML files.

It would be very helpful for me.

Thanks in advance

Kind Regards

Hi Abdul Malak,

I have a question maybe you can help,

Is it possible to read from an HTML form (like the ones that you have on the internet to register to forums, etc) and yo save it into a xml file with XSLT by clicking on a button 'save'?

many thanks for your help !

From your article under Javascript section "To check how to embed JavaScript inside XSLT, please download the project file."
So, where is the download link?
