XSL Transformation works fine locally but not when the files are uploaded

Hi everyone!

Please help me with this problem.

I am using the follwing javascript code to do an XSL-XML transformation. It's working fine on my computer when I double-click the html page but once the files are uploaded the transformation doesn't work there.

Even more if I test the pages through the IIS as a virtual directory (but still in my computer) it doesn't work neither.

I am figuring out the problem is because the "xml/hotel_list.xml" and "xml/hotel_list.xsl" relative paths are not working in the xslDoc.load statements but I have tested several alternatives using "http://..." paths and I can't make this work.

I would appreciate any help you can give me I am feeling lost and frustated.

This is the javascript function:
function filter_destino(filtro_destino,column){
try{
var xslDoc = new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument");
xslDoc.load("xml/hotel_list.xsl");

var xslt = new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.XSLTemplate");
xslt.stylesheet = xslDoc;

var xslProc = xslt.createProcessor();
xslProc.addParameter("column", column);
xslProc.addParameter("filtro_destino", filtro_destino);

var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument");
xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.resolveExternals = false;
xmlDoc.load("xml/hotel_list.xml");

xslProc.input = xmlDoc;
xslProc.transform();

document.all.item("xslContainer").innerHTML=xslProc.output;

}catch(exception){
}
}

The function is called from an html on the Body onLoad event:

<BODY onLoad="filter_destino('Cancun','HOTEL_NAME');">

The javascript function is in a external file referenced at the head section in this html page.
<script language="javascript" src="javascripts/filter.js"></script>

The first lines of the xsl files are:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='iso-8859-1' ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes" encoding="iso-8859-1" media-type="text/html"/>
<xsl:param name="column" select="'HOTEL_NAME'" />
<xsl:param name="name" select="''" />
<xsl:param name="filtro_destino" select="''" />
<xsl:variable name="destino" select="HOTEL[HOTEL_DESTINATION=$filtro_destino]" />

Thanks in advance.

Try loading your doc relative to the website root. For example if your file is located at : http://www.yoursite.com/xml/hotel_list.xml, then load your file as :

xml.load(server.mappath("/xml/hotel_list.xml") // Sorry i don't know the JS equivalent for 'server.mappath

Thanks imbrokn

Thanks for your reply, I find out the problem this morning, it was the async property of the xsl file. I was setting to false this property before the load of the xml file but I wasn't doing it for the xsl file.

It was a good situatuion to learn a little more about xml.

Thank you very much for your reply.

Ricardo.
