And I have an HTMLpage which displays this data in a table. The page
also contains two select boxes to select a column to filter on, and two
textboxes to fill in the filtervalue. Here's the code (also based on
RDCPro example): 
<html><head>
<script language="JavaScript">
//Global variables
	var strXSLFileName,strXMLFileName;
	var objXMLDoc, objXSLDoc, objXSLTemplate;
	var currentSortDirection = "ascending";
	var currentSortCol = "";

//HARDCODED VALUES-------------------
  	   strXMLFileName="test.xml";	// XML Data
	   strXSLFileName="Render.xsl"; // XSL to build table
	//---------------------------------

function DoInit()
{
	objXMLDoc = new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.DomDocument");
	objXMLDoc.async = false;
	objXMLDoc.setProperty("SelectionLanguage", "XPath");
	objXMLDoc.resolveExternals = false;
	objXMLDoc.validateOnParse = false;
	objXMLDoc.load(strXMLFileName);

	objXSLDoc = new ActiveXObject
("MSXML2.FreeThreadedDomDocument");
	objXSLDoc.async = false;
	objXSLDoc.resolveExternals = false;
	objXMLDoc.validateOnParse = false;
	objXSLDoc.load(strXSLFileName);
    objXSLTemplate = new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.XSLTemplate");
	objXSLTemplate.stylesheet = objXSLDoc;

	renderData('fusername');
}


function renderData(strSort)
{
	var objXSLProcessor;
	objXSLProcessor = objXSLTemplate.createProcessor();
	objXSLProcessor.input = objXMLDoc;


	// Toggle the sort direction only if necessary
	if (strSort == currentSortCol)
	{
		//strSort is CurrentSortCol
		if (currentSortDirection =="descending")
		{
			currentSortDirection = "ascending";
		}
		else
		{
			currentSortDirection = "descending";
		}
	}
	else
	{
		//strSort is NOT CurrentSortCol
		currentSortCol = strSort;
		currentSortDirection = currentSortDirection;
	}

	//Process Params

	// Pass the values to the XSL 
if (frmMain.filter1txt.value != "All")
    {
    	if (frmMain.seFilter1.value !="")
        {
	var text1 = frmMain.filter1txt.value;
        var sel1 = frmMain.seFilter1.value;
	objXSLProcessor.addParameter("filter1", text1);
	objXSLProcessor.addParameter("field1", sel1)
		}
    }

        if (frmMain.filter2txt.value != "All")
	{
    	if (frmMain.seFilter2.value !="")
        {
	var text2 = frmMain.filter2txt.value;
	var sel2 = frmMain.seFilter2.value;
        objXSLProcessor.addParameter("filter2", text2);
	objXSLProcessor.addParameter("field2", sel2)
        }
	}
	objXSLProcessor.addParameter("sortBy",strSort);
	objXSLProcessor.addParameter("direction",currentSortDirection);
	objXSLProcessor.transform();
	Results.innerHTML = objXSLProcessor.output;
}

function toggleDirection(strSort)
{
	if (strSort == currentSortCol)
	{
		//alert("strSort is CurrentSortCol");
		if (currentSortDirection =="descending")
		{
			currentSortDirection = "ascending";
		}
		else
		{
			currentSortDirection = "descending";
		}
	}
	else
	{
		//alert("strSort is NOT CurrentSortCol");
		currentSortCol = strSort;
		currentSortDirection = currentSortDirection;
	}
}

window.onload=DoInit;
</script>

So I want the second selectbox and textbox to be a negative filter. The
negative filtering works, but the starts-with() function does not. I
want to be able to fill in only part of the filtervalue, so for example
when I select 'woonplaats' and fill in 'G' in the textbox, I get the two
records with woonplaats "Groningen" and the one with woonplaats "Goor".
This works for the first filter, but not for the negative one. Hope you
can help me, thanks in advance! Sharon
