Yes, I need a HTML table with just one row.
All nodes of the same level are in one <td>, seperated by <br/>.

Betreff: Re: [xsl] getting all nodes from a certain level in the xml
hierarchy
my problem is the following:
my XML document maps the structure of a folder tree (just like the unix
file
hierarchy) but without files, e.g.:
<Folder NAME="/">
<Folder NAME="a"/>
<Folder NAME="b">
<Folder NAME="ba"/>
<Folder NAME="bb"/>
</Folder>
...
<Folder NAME="z">
<Folder NAME="za">
...
<Folder NAME="very deep folder"/>
...
</Folder>
</Folder
</Folder>
The real folder NAMEs are like real folder names, and have no specific
length or content.
The depth of the deepest node is unknown.
I need to access all nodes that have the same depth.
So first i need root, then all direct childs of root, then all nodes that
are two levels under root, because i want tu put them in a table like:
level | 0 | 1 | 2 ... x
------+---+-----+------ ---------------
| / | a | ba very deep folder
| | b | bb
...
| | z | za
first I started to try <xsl:for-each select="//Folder"> and then
<xsl:for-each select="//Folder/Folder"> but because I do not know the
depth
of the tree, this won't work..
Another reason, why this wouldn't work: "//Folder" selects all folders at
any tree level. "//Folder/Folder selects alls folders which have a parent
folder.
Can anybody help me, what is the direction i should go?
I don't think there is an easy way to use XPath for adressing nodes on the
same level?
In General "/*/*/*/*" selects all nodes at the fourth level, for instance.
However I can't yet think of a single transformation that could possibly
yield such a list. Do you really want text-output? Or do you want an HTML
table? If it helps to have an intermediate document containing a simple list
of Folders with their level in an attribute value, you can use:
<xsl:for-each select="//Folder">
<Folder NAME="{(_at_)NAME}" LEVEL="{count(ancestor::*)}"/>
</xsl:for-each>
It should be rather easy to build your table from this intermediate
structure.
