Data input with a FORM via XSL and search on the basis of that...
Dear friends
We have been working around for quite some time now in finding out how to
take the form input from XSL stylesheets and send it to XSP logic.
<xsl:value-of> is used to get value from the XML document but how to do the
reverse : how to get an input from the user and base the search query on the
basis of that!
Say for example : the xsp returns five (random) search results and I need to
run an input form for
five times in xsl. how do I do this. Please help.
does xsl have a logic like "count"?

I think, that the XPath count(nodeset) won't help you. It can only give you
an integer value, but you cannot iterate using that function thru the nodes.
The do something N times in XSL you have to use named templates with params
and recusrion call.
You can search archives for an example. Similar thing had been discussed
here.

Is your question just about html forms?
If so, here is an example:
XSL:
<form action="my_xsp_page.xml">
<input type="text" name="value"/>
<input type="submit"/>
</form>
Cocoon XML:
<request:get-parameter name="value" default="some_sane_default"/>
Feel free to ask more, possibly being more specific if this is
not what you meant.

you're asking to be able to write this:
<param>foo</param>
or
<param><request:get-parameter name="foo"/></param>
? then read up on xsp logicsheets, check out the examples. you'll probably
want to use the get-nested-string template from esql.xsl among others.

this doesn't make any sense to me.
> does xsl have a logic like "count"?
yes, looks like you need to read up on xslt and xpath.
