Hi again all, Just an update on the preceding issue...
Rossko: Thanks for your suggestion. I surely had checked online before posting it here, but I hoped that someone probably had done it before me to save up on some time. I did go through a lot of searching online fore a solution and I was able to sort the XML using an XSL style sheet so this was not the problem. My issue was that I didn't want to change my working and functional javascript code for the maps, in which I would get all the information for the coordinates and the markers from the XML file and place it in the sidebar. My goal was to hopefully format that XML file using an XSL stylesheet (which would return a sorted XML file) before using that returned XML back in my javascript. After a lof of digging, I found that it is possible to return an XML document from an XSL, and it should also be possible to return a sorted XML document after formatting it with an XSL. With all of that, I still tried doing my plea with sorting the XML using XSL first, and then getting the XML data into the map page, using the GXslt object to format the XML and return it as XML. That is where I failed... I tried different ways but it seemed that my XSL stylesheet always only returned formatted html while I needed some formatted XML. Also, the GXslt object only contains functions to create an XSL stylesheet instance *[**GXslt.create(xsltnode:Node)]* and another one to transform the XML to html using that XSL stylesheet *[GXslt.transformToHtml(xmlnode:Node, htmlnode:Node)]*. This latter function again only transforms the XML to HTML instead of transforming it back as a sorted XML document and so none of my tries with this function worked fine. After many differents tries, I kinda gave up on that endeavour, and decided to go with the simpler but probably less efficient way of sorting my data (please correct me if I'm wrong). I used Martin's functions and techniques which deemed very useful and worked like a charm. If anyone was successful at doing what I unfortunately wasn't , please let me know. Thanks all. hk --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
