Hi everyone,

I am trying to get a plain text string as a result of a xsltransform, but I
am getting instead
<transformiix:result xmlns:transformiix="http://......">My/text/message
</transformiix:result>

using the following xslTransform...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="2.0">

<xsl:output method="text" version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" />

<xsl:template match="/" >

<xsl:value-of select=" concat ( //FileList [ @currentFileList =
'true' ]/RelativePath/text(), '/' ) " />
<xsl:value-of select=" //FileList [ @currentFileList =
'true' ]/FileName/text() " />

</xsl:template >

</xsl:stylesheet>

How do I get rid of the <transformiix:result> element and keep only element
text ?

Thanks

Rui

I havent seen your code but i believe the result of it must be a
Document object. You can only have that if the transformation result
serialization is a well-formed XML document. The wrapper is there for
just that.

That is as documented here:
<http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xslt/js-interface.html>
Simply read out
resultDocument.documentElement.textContent
then to have the text result.

Thanks guys...

I thought the (output method="text") returned a dumb string variable (and in
fact it does, in IE), but since i am trying to write a cross browser app, i
changed the method to xml, and then I get the textContent of the
documentElement.

Have a good one...
