Mr Scola, are you around today?

I am now trying to do my xsl transformation on the server in the .ASP page (using VB Script). I think I've almost got it working. Currently I'm testing the transformation using Editix. When I run it, I get the following error:

The URI 'http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform' does not identify an external Java class

That error occurs on the following line in the xsl document:

<xsl:if test="pay_date[@dow = xsl:getDOW($loopcounter) and @sf = xsl:getSF($loopcounter)]">

The function DOW is defined like so:

<msxsl:script language="JScript" implements-prefix="xsl">

function getDOW(iCounter){
if(iCounter == 8){
return 6;
}
if(iCounter == 7){
return 7;
}
if(iCounter == 1){
return 6;
}
return 7 - iCounter;
}

...

We don't use Java in our xsl stuff, so I'm not sure what's going on. The error might be because Editix doesn't have some Java it needs or something? Any ideas? (I'm not at work, so I can't try the transformation on the .ASP page right now.)

eta: OK, I think the problem is that Editix doesn't have access to the JScript interpreter. So I'll have to try this tomorrow on our web server.

I would try something along the lines of putting the function in its own namespace, i.e.

<msxsl:script language="JScript" implements-prefix="foo">

And then calling the function as foo:getDOW rather than xsl:getDOW.

You will also need to declare the namespace at the top of the document:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0"
xmlns:foo="http://your-url-here"
extension-element-prefixes="foo">

Again, I'm not very familiar with the MS toolset, so I don't know if this will work or not.

Thanks, Tom.

If I comment out the stuff that calls the JScript functions, it runs without error and the results are mostly correct. So I'm just going to wait until I'm at work tomorrow to look at this some more.

I am being socially (media) awkward and I don't know why.

Every tweet ends up double posting, which leads to double facebook posts as well.

I like the convenience of the cross-posting, but am embarrassed by the doubling up.

Anyone know how to fix this? Does having the autoFB function on make this happen?

Things that are annoying me about Firefox 4: it's harder to get to the list of bookmarks; there are things I use all the time that I don't want on my toolbar (like here). And when I right-click, they've switched the positions of the links to open in a new tab vs. a new window. Now tab is first, which is better, but I am so used to going to the second link automatically that I keep opening things in new windows which is annoying!

Wow. $1.50/issue for the New Yorker might actually be worth it: [link]

Pretty sure the print edition is less than that and it comes with the web-based version as a gift with purchase.

Print edition is $10 more per year.

Sorry, you are correct. Though they sometimes have deals that would make it cheaper.

Ram for an older computer. Corsair is $54.Kingston in $78. Identical specs. Worth the difference? Or Ram is Ram? Also looking on Amazon. Better site?
