This is XSLT 2.0 only.

Subject: [xsl] XSL: Build a dynamic HTML Select from a single
Quantity value
Hi,
I've searched the web and archives for the specifics on this
process but haven't found a good match for what I am trying
to accomplish.
I have the following XML from a third party source I pull
from the web to populate a web page on my site:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Products>
<Data Count="2">
<Item>
<Product>Widget 1</Product>
<Quantity>3</Quantity>
<Price>10</Price>
</Item>
<Item>
<Product>Widget 2</Product>
<Quantity>2</Quantity>
<Price>15</Price>
</Item>
</Data>
</Products>
In my style sheet I need to build a HTML drop-down with
sequential option values equal to the number in <Quantity>
like so.. Widget 1 <select name="Quantity">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
</select>
Widget 2
<select name="Quantity">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
</select>
I am somewhat new to writing style sheets but I am
experienced in ASP / VBscript where I would handle this with
a For / Next like:
<select name="Quantity">
<% For count = 1 to Quantity
response.write("<option value='" & count & "'>" &
count & "</option>")
Next %> </select>
However, I haven't figured out how to do this in my style
sheet. My XSL looks something like this at the moment:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <xsl:stylesheet
version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="Products/Data/Item">
<table>
<xsl:for-each select="Products/Data/Item">
<tr>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="Product" />
</td>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="Price" />
</td>
<td>Select the number you want to order:
<select name="Quantity">
<!-- Where I'm Stuck -->
</select>
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Thanks for your assistance!
Jim
