RE: Problem writing a XSLT stylesheet

2003-02-19 03:09:33
Hi Jarno ,
   If you recall my problem. It remains same. I wrote
in my problem ..

  "the first <TAG> tag will have data and will not be
present in tags after that unless there is a change in
these tag's value"

Can I test when the value of <A> tag changes? I want
to display a line break as '---------' when value of
<A> will change..?

 Can you kindly reply..?

Regards,
Mukul

Hi,

There are certain tags missing in <TAG>. The
missing
tags <A> and <B> are repetitive information.
Therefore
the first <TAG> tag will have data and will not be
present in tags after that unless there is a
change in
these tag's value. 

The <A> tag can have 3 possible values
value1, value2, value3

Based on this value, the label for <E> that needs
to
be output will change --
if <A> is value1, output E's label as Label1
if <A> is value2, output E's label as Label2
if <A> is value3, output E's label as Label3


I want the output to appear as

Label1  <value-of E>
Label3  <value-of E>
Label2  <value-of E>
..etc
(the Labels will be different depending on the
value
of <A>)

If I understood you correctly

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:for-each select="rootelem/TAG/E">
    <xsl:variable name="A" select="preceding::A[1]"
/>
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="$A =
'value1'">Label1</xsl:when>
      <xsl:when test="$A =
'value2'">Label2</xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>Label3</xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
    <xsl:text> </xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="."
/><xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
  </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

displays how it can be achieved. It may be worth
testing if keys could speed things up, but if your
document is smallish, preceding axis may be faster.
