Hi,
I am super-new at this
I have searched everywhere for the answer to
this question but cannot find anyone doing exactly what I am trying to
do. BTW...I'm going to post the code as soon as I finish explaining.
Overview: (1) XML document describing compact discs
(3) XSL docments, 1 to organize the XML in a table by title,
one by artist, and one by price
(1) HTM file to help load this stuff
Problem: I am supposed to provide three radio buttons and then allow a
user to choose how he/she wants the XML document sorted (title, author,
or price). It loads with title sorted by default.
What I have done so far works...on the first pass. In other words, the
file loads sorted by title and then you can select to order it by
artist or price once, but then the next time you click you get an
"Object expected" javascript error. The error occurrs on line 140 and
my code only has about 70 lines. This tells me the way I am reloading
the sorted xml table is causing the problem. It is as if my javascript
routines are seen on the first pass but when the page is rebuilt they
are not there. Maybe there is a better approach to doing this. Yes,
this is an assignment for school not a real world project. I am truly
trying to learn this stuff and have been googling for 2 days now tring
to find out what I am doing wrong. I appreciate any help. I am assuming
this is a simple problem and that I am just to green to figure it out.
Thanks!
