Re: Data from DB in xsl

If you want the HTML to automatically wrap, and you want to maintain the
paragraph breaks,  you will probably need to do a replace function. see the
link below.  More than likely if you replace \n with <br><br> this should
give you the desired result.

yes but it disfigures my page by increasing the width because the text
doesn't wrap.

<td valign="top" class="paragraph">
    <pre><xsl:value-of select="description"/></pre>
</td>

i have tried:

<td valign="top" class="paragraph"> <xsl:value-of
select="description"/></td>

where "paragraph" is a css property containing:

.paragraph {
white-space: pre;

}

and "description" is the xml value that contains text from the DB but
still
doesn't work.

Any more ideas please??

Hi,

I have an intranet which user add data ot it using form, and
it's saved in
the SQL 2000 DB. If the user put a paragraph in this form and
saves it in
the DB, how can this data be displayed using xml/xslt so that
it appears
exactly th way the user input it i.e. with paragraphs?

Add

  white-space: pre;

CSS property to the element that contains the text.
