XSL Template is making loading speed very slow

Hello the below code is making my page loading speed very slow. Can you help please!
<xsl:template match="Category" mode="CategorySelectorScript">
<xsl:variable name="ThisCategoryID" select="CategoryID"/>
<xsl:variable name="HasChildren"><xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="../Category[ParentCategoryID=$ThisCategoryID]">
true
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
false
</xsl:otherwise></xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>
arrCategory=new Array(<xsl:value-of select="CategoryID"/>, <xsl:value-of select="ParentCategoryID"/>, '<xsl:value-of select="Name"/>', <xsl:value-of select="$HasChildren"/>);
arrCategories.push(arrCategory);
</xsl:template>
The problem is with this line <xsl:when test="../Category[ParentCategoryID=$ThisCategoryID]"> When i remove ../ from the XPath it loads fast but then i didn't get the working feature. So is there any alternative of ../ which works ?

Thanks

You haven't shown the source XML.
If the number of Category elements is large and if they are all at the same level in the document, then you should get an improvement by defining a key:
<xsl:key name="CategoryByParentCategory" match="Category"
use="ParentCategoryID"/>
and then change your test from test="../Category[ParentCategoryID=$ThisCategoryID]" to test="key('CategoryByParentCategory', $ThisCategoryID)"
(This change isn't safe if the Category elements are nested or if you aren't searching all of them: that's why we need to see the XML)
A point about your logic: you are setting the value of the variable $HasChildren to a text node containing the string "true" or "false" surrounded by a load of whitespace, which you are then inserting into some generated Javascript. You could achieve the effect more conveniently by changing the variable declaration to
<xsl:variable name="HasChildren"
select="boolean(key('CategoryByParentCategory', $ThisCategoryID))"/>

XHR not hitting 3 - 'Loading'

my XHR object isn't hitting the 'loading' state, 3. I can't figure out what the problem is, as I can't find any syntax issues. It seems to be some kind of code/syntax error, because the error that I'm getting in the console is "Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)"
Anyway, here's what I have. The above error triggers on the line 'xhr.send(requestBody);' in 'lecturers.js'.
UPDATE
The original code for "lecturers.js" was this:
function getResults(){
xhr.open("GET", "lecturers.php?id=" + Number(new Date), true);
xhr.onreadystatechange = getData;
xhr.send(null);
}
What I want to do is change the above code to use the POST protocol.

var requestBody = "lecturers.php?id=" + Number(new Date);
xhr.open("POST", dataSource, true);
xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
xhr.onreadystatechange = getData;
xhr.send(requestBody);
}
}
function getData ()
{
alert(xhr.readyState);
if ((xhr.readyState == 4) &&(xhr.status == 200))
{
var object = document.getElementById("results");
object.innerHTML = xhr.responseText;

as per our understanding even though the tag is empty, at least empty span should be displayed . But we are getting error in the line we mentioned in the comment.
Please help.

Setting default value on ComboBox on HTML using JavaScript ,XSLT and XML

I am trying to get a language dropdown in HTML which calls JavaScript which uses XMLT which reads an XML to have a default value of English when the page loads, can someone help?\
Please note this only runs on Internet Explorer 9 and above
The required HTML Is:
<body onload="Start();">
<h3 id="selectalanguage"></h3>
<h3 id="LanguageComboHere"></h3>
</body>
My JavaScript is
function Start()
{
LoadLanguageCombo();
LoadCustomerCombo();
GetLanguage();
}
function nvl(value1,value2)
{
if (value1 == null)
return value2;
return value1;
}
function LoadLanguageCombo()
{
var xmldoc=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
xmldoc.async=false;
xmldoc.load("Language.xml");
var xsldoc=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
xsldoc.async=false;
xsldoc.load("LanguageCombo.xsl");
alert (xmldoc.transformNod(exsldoc));
LanguageComboHere.innerHTML=xmldoc.transformNode(xsldoc);
}
function GetLanguage(language)
{
alert("here");
alert(language);
var xmldoc=new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.3.0");
var xsldoc=new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument");
var xslt = new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.XSLTemplate");
var xslproc;
var defaultlanguage = "English";
language = nvl(language, defaultlanguage);
alert(language);
xmldoc.load("Language.xml")
xsldoc.load("getLanguage.xsl");
xslt.stylesheet = xsldoc;
xslproc = xslt.createProcessor();
xslproc.input = xmldoc;
xslproc.addParameter("elementname", "selectalanguage");
xslproc.addParameter("languagetype", language);
xslproc.transform();
selectalanguage.innerHTML = xslproc.output;
}
My XSLT is:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0" >
<xsl:output method="html" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<select id="selectlanguage" value="Italian" onchange="GetLanguage(selectlanguage.value);">
<xsl:for-each select="//language">
<xsl:sort select="englishtype"/>
<xsl:sort select="englishtype" />
<xsl:variable name="language" select="englishtype" />
<xsl:element name="option">
<xsl:attribute name="value">
<xsl:value-of select="$language" />
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="englishtype" />
</xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>
</select>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
My XML is:
<language>
<englishtype>Ukrainian</englishtype>
</language>
<language>
<englishtype>Italian</englishtype>
</language>
<language>
<englishtype>English</englishtype>
</language>
<language>
<englishtype>Arabic</englishtype>
</language>

Your XML document is missing a root element.
The following XSL will do the job.
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0" >
<xsl:output method="html" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<select>
<xsl:for-each select="//language">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="englishtype='English'">
<option selected='true'><xsl:value-of select="englishtype"/></option>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<option><xsl:value-of select="englishtype"/></option>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>
</select>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

JQuery: change content of <div> every 5 seconds

I've set up a radio broadcast server using xml and xslt.
I display the current song playing, but of course, that changed every minute, so I'd like that the <div> refreshes every second to make sure the displayed data is up-to-date.
I've written a JQuery function, but that does not work.
Also, i've written following test function to test if jquery works, and it doesn't.
Could it be that jquery does not work in an XST page??
Test function:
$(document).ready(function () {
$("a").click(function () {
alert("test");
});
});
The alert is not displayed when I click on a hyperlink...
This is my current code:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl = "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version = "1.0" >

You need to include a reference to the jQuery library in the <head> of the document.
Example:
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.6.2.min.js" />
...
</head>
While troubleshooting Javascript issues, it may be useful to install Firebug (for Firefox) or use the Developer Tools for Chrome. Each contains a console that will report Javascript errors. In your case, you will see an error like:
'$ is not defined'
which means that jQuery is not working.
UPDATE
In response to your updated code, please note that the following is incorrect:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.6.2.min.js">
$(document).ready(function () {
setInterval(function () {
$(".newscontent").load("status.xsl");
}, 1000);
});
</script>
It should be:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.6.2.min.js" />
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
setInterval(function () {
$(".newscontent").load("status.xsl");
}, 1000);
});
</script>
The first <script> element gets its body from the URL in the src attribute. A second <script> element must be created the Javascript specific to your page.

It looks like you forgot to include the jQuery library.
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

setInterval() is what you need.
Also, think about using the jQuery ready method instead of onLoad as well as put a reference to the jQuery tag about the script tag you have the code in.
