This is not quite an XSL issue. Functionality you want is usually achieved via JavaScript that is incorporated in HTML page. All your XSL stylesheet needs to do is to write this JavaScript in the output.

Hello Mapraputa Is ,
I too am looking for a similar solution and I was eagerly waitng for the reply. I have given a search and was sirprised to know that thrice before the same question has been asked and everything else other than the solution is printed.
Can you please guide us with the solution.
Morever anyone can solve the Naming probelem of JavaRanch naming. WHY DOES NOT JAVARANCH DO IT? IS IT DIFFICULT ? EVEN I DONT FIND IT DIFFICULT!!!
Why cant we improve the code so that no one can register with wrong name?
Thanks and regards,
Milan Doshi

Hi,
You can post this question in hTML/javascript forum.As told by Map,you have to use javascript for this.

If u want some sample code,view this http://tech.irt.org/articles/js060/ or directly this http://tech.irt.org/articles/js060/generic.htm

U can try using <xsl:sort/>.If its confusing don't scold me
Sorry Map,I didn't noted ur reply.I was using old screen.
Ok! The above link works both in IE and netscape.
Map! I found this link is good have some examples on webservices with asp.net,propably u might know more than this :roll: asp.net

If you look at example https://coderanch.com/t/125023/XML/Keyword-xsl-sort-may-not you may get some idea on how to use xsl:sort or else you try to attempt some code and post it here if you face problem on running it.

How to parametrize sort:
<xsl:sort select=”*[name(.)=$sortField]">
