xml search

[thepofo]

Hi,
I have an xml file where I'd like to perform a search on.
Preferably within the same page (as the full output of the xml in xsl(t)) ... is this possible.

How do I do this (php/javascript?)

Thanks

I don't fully understand your question...

If you want to find a node in an XML file with javascript...

You can use the DOM object and either of 2 methods...

getElementsByTagName(tagName)
such as:

http://www.w3schools.com/dom/tryit.asp?filename=try_dom_getelebytagname

Or you can use xpath with:
selectNodes(pattern)
selectSingleNode(pattern)
See XPath examples:

http://www.w3schools.com/xpath/xpath_examples.asp

You can transform the node and child nodes with:
transformNode(stylesheet)
such as:

http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/xsl_client.asp

And, For example:

http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/tryit.asp?filename=cdcatalog

I wasn't probably clear enough...
I have an xsl fine which return the complete output of my xml file in a nice html layout...

On that page is a search form where a user can select and search inside the given results...

How do I do this, is there a way to change my xml output in xsl within the same page. Or do I have to wite a php search script behind the action of the form.

How do I write this second option...
