msxsl:script Element (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

Appears at the top level of the style sheet and contains script blocks that define global variables and functions for script extensions.

Syntax

<msxsl:script
  language = "language-name"
  implements-prefix = "prefix of user's namespace">
</msxsl:script>

Attributes

• language
  Active Scripting language used for the functions defined within this element. If left unspecified, the current scripting language is used, as specified by a language attribute on an ancestor. If no such attribute exists, Microsoft® JScript® (compatible with ECMA 262 language specification) is used. This attribute accepts the same values as the language attribute on the HTML <SCRIPT> element.

• implements-prefix
  [required] Declares a name space and associates it with the script block. The value of this attribute is the prefix that represents the name space.

Element Information

Remarks

Belongs to the name space urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt. You can declare variables and define functions within the <msxsl:script> element. This can appear within the <xsl:stylesheet> element. A script block thus nested is treated as a global script block.

You can also instantiate COM objects in the <msxsl:script> element. However, a user's security settings may prevent your script from instantiating a client-side object.

Example

This example creates a script block with a namepace prefix of "user" that contains a function called "xml" that takes a node-list as an argument. Later, this function is called from the select attribute of <xsl:value-of>.

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
                xmlns:user="http://mycompany.com/mynamespace"
                version="1.0">
  <msxsl:script language="JScript" implements-prefix="user">
    function xml(nodelist) {
      return nodelist.nextNode().xml;
    }
  </msxsl:script>
  
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:value-of select="user:xml(.)"/>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
