Re: Sorting html tables dynamically
Anna I am not a cocoon portal user (yet!) but normally I handle sorting in the stylesheet that is generating that HTML table; add a ?sort=xyz to the hyperlink (usually wrapped around the column title) and access this in the stylesheet to perform the sort. I suspect you'll have to dig into the code that the portal is using to create its pages. HTH Derek [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004/08/03 10:38:06 PM Hi, I have a cocoon portal appliation that displays information in html tables. I have to provide sorting of columns in this table to users. How can we do this? Can someone please shed some light on this and send me some code snippets.

RE: Sorting html tables dynamically
Anna, Yet another client-side approach is to look at Domapi www.domapi.com. IIRC he's implemented a sortable Grid that uses rpc to talk to the server to pull data. That way he can support paging and other dynamic activities. I think he is using JSON as the wire representation of the data sets.

Re: Sorting html tables dynamically
This is an old implementation I did. ?xml version=1.0 encoding=ISO-8859-1? xsl:stylesheet version=1.0 xmlns:xsl=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform; xsl:template match=* xsl:copy xsl:apply-templates/ /xsl:copy /xsl:template xsl:template match=Items Items xsl:for-each select=Item !-- sort item by category then sku, then copy results to output doc -- xsl:sort select=Category/ xsl:sort select=SKU/ xsl:copy-of select=./ /xsl:for-each /Items /xsl:template /xsl:stylesheet I had used this in a pipeline to first sort my data, then format the results with a different stylesheet. Separating the processes immensely increased the overall speed. -andy Anna Bikkina wrote: Can anyone please send me a snippet of how to use xsl:sort. Anna.
