Dear all,
I am trying to search and highlight words in XML content displayed as HTML
using XSLT. I have got the search bit using javascript and dom, and am at
the moment successfully putting <font> tags around matches when I'm writing
the results out, by grabbing document.body using dom. However Firefox
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=325835
I gather that I cannot wait for Firefox to get its act right, so I am
wondering if there might be an XSLT way to do similar? Pretty much I have
the search terms fed into a javascript function that does the XSL
transformation and displays the HTML with the matched keywords highlighted
using <font color...>. The HTML is generated by XSLT on the fly and Firefox
won't find document.body this way, if you save the result of the XSLT to a
file hten load it back in Firefox will see its document.body, however a bug
exists there it cannot be done at this moment...
What I'm asking is then, I need a way to give the XSLT the keywords to match
and it'd find them and put <font> tags around each of them when displaying
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="UTF-8" omit-xml-declaration="no"
doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" />
<xsl:attribute-set name="imgAttrs">
<xsl:attribute name="src">page/<xsl:value-of
</xsl:attribute-set>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style/template.css" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body id="mainBody" style="margin:25px;">
<xsl:for-each select="//hl1">
<h3>
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</h3>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:for-each select="//body.content/block">
<p>
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</p>
</xsl:for-each>
<p>
<xsl:element name="img" use-attribute-sets="imgAttrs"/>
</p>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:for-each match="classes">
<B><xsl:copy-of select="." /></B>
</xsl:for-each>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
As you can see I'm showing things in a specific order, what I need is for
each of these for-each results to be matched against the keywords so any
matches will be transformed into as highlighted.
I'm no expert in XSLT, I know just enough to get by, so if anyone could give
me some code samples that'd be greatly appreciated... on the other hand if
anyone knows a way round the Firefox bug please also let me know ...
Many thanks!

A bit late, haven't been watching this group often.
But you can emulate the document.body, if that would help?

var body = document.getElementsByTagName("body").item(0);

and just do that after window onload, because, the DOMContentLoaded
event will not fire for xhtml from xml+xsl transform in Firefox.

one workaround i found was to rename you file to blah.xhtml, and still
have the transform PI at top, but will not work so well for IE :)
but, you do get the full DOM support doing that in Firefox via xsltransform.
