Hi Sachi, > I am trying to send a string of like this "B's Beverages" to filter > condition in XSL from javascript. > eg. > someobject.selectNodes("root/element["+selval+"]"); > selval - is the string which I pass as "@ShipName=B's Beverages".But it > is not possible. any idea to slove this probelm. The string that you pass as an argument into .selectNodes needs to be a valid XPath. The string "B's Beverages" needs to be surrounded by quotes so that the XPath processor recognises it as a string. Because of the apostrophe in B's Beverages, the valid XPath that you need to use is: root/element[@ShipName = "B's Beverages"] So, selval needs to be set to the string: @ShipName = "B's Beverages" Within the Javascript, you need to wrap that string in quotes so that the Javascript processor can recognise it as a string. Within Javascript, you have to escape single and double quotes within a string using '\' so that they're not recognised as quotes. So, when you set selval, use: selval = '@ShipName = \"B\'s Beverages\"'; or: selval = "@ShipName = \"B\'s Beverages\""; I hope that helps, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
