Re: [Xsltforms-support] XSLTForms + eXist

[Wolfgang <wol...@ex...>]

Hi Alain,

I was looking into how to apply the xsltforms stylesheet on the server 
instead of the client. I needed to make 2 small fixes to the 
xsltforms.xsl stylesheet to get it to work properly:

1) two lines in the generated javascript assume that the xsltforms.js 
code has already been loaded:

Core.fileName='xsltforms.js';

Dialog.show('statusPanel');

The assumption works sometimes, but mostly doesn't and causes the entire 
script to fail. Just moving the two statements *inside* the init() 
function fixes the issue for me.

2) location of xsltforms.js and xsltforms.css: the stylesheet determines 
the basedir for loading those resources by looking at the processing 
instruction. However, if the stylesheet is applied by a script on the 
server, there won't be processing instruction. I thus introduced a 
stylesheet parameter:

<xsl:param name="baseuri"/>

which is then checked to determine $resourcesdir:

	<xsl:variable name="resourcesdir">
             <xsl:choose>
                 <xsl:when test="$baseuri != ''">
                     <xsl:value-of select="$baseuri"/>
                 </xsl:when>
                 <xsl:otherwise>
                     <xsl:value-of select="substring-before($href, 
'xsltforms.xsl')"/>
                 </xsl:otherwise>
             </xsl:choose>
         </xsl:variable>
