xml-dev - Re: Problem with sorting data within an xml using XSL

[Wayne Steele <xmlmaster@hotmail.com>]

Peter:

   Step 1: can you perform any XSLT transform on an XML document?

   Your method call:

      var newXML = OriginalXML.transferNode("xslfile.XMLDocument");

   is not going to work. Try this first:

      alert( OriginalXML.transformNode(XSLdocument) );

   Once you get this to work, you can worry about

      step 2: can you put the result of an XSLT tranform into a new XML 
document, and
      step 3: how can I get this to sort right?
