How to pass a string containg value $ to a javascript call in XSLT style sheet
Hi there
I need to make a call to a Javascript function in my style sheet that does regular expression matching as I have to use XSL version 1.0 at the moment. All works fine except when I nee dto pass a regular expression such as the following to the function:
<xsl:param name="charregexp" select=" '^[A-Za-z0-9. -]$'"></xsl:param>
call looks like this:
<xsl:if test="normalize-space(Cell
<xsl:value-of select="myjs:CheckValid(st
('char'))"/>
</xsl:if>
Basically the call doesn't handle the $ in charregexp because it is a syntax character so how do I include it in my regular expression? I have tried adding an escapr character but that doesn't help.
Many thanks
Sam

of course I am guessing what is in 'char',
make sure it really is only one character if you want your own regex to work

Thanks guys. Firstly yes I think I had an extra space that i couldn't see for looking at it too long and secondly I did need the + after my regexp so many thanks for that too. Cheers Sam
You're welcome, so actually the regex itself was the problem eventually, well seen, Gertone ;-)
welcome, sorry again for the confusion in my first message
('char'))"/>
you need to escape the XPath with {} (attribute value templates)
