I was wondering if somebody could answer a question for me. I have the
following XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<FileInformation>
<General CreationDate="2003-01-01">
<AccessedDate
ModifiedDate="2003-02-14">2003-03-17</AccessedDate>
<System>TRS80</System>
</General>
</FileInformation>
Currently, I am using XSL to display the information in a table in HTML in a
web browser. Until now the system that generates the XML was updating
everything perfectly. This will be fixed in the future but for now I was
wondering if there was any way for me to change the text in the
<AccessedDate> element without effecting any of the other elements or
attributes. Unfortunately, the current system's structure does not allow me
to transform the XML, save, and redisplay it in the browser. What I need to
do is get the new Accessed Date from another node in the XML (I have assigned
this to a variable already, $NewDate) and set the <AccessedDate> element
equal to the $NewDate variable. So if the new Accessed Date in the date
variable is 2003-12-25, I would want the XML to look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<FileInformation>
<General CreationDate="2003-01-01">
<AccessedDate
ModifiedDate="2003-02-14">2003-12-25</AccessedDate>
<System>TRS80</System>
</General>
</FileInformation>
I am pretty new to XSL but I do not think this is possible without an
outright transformation.
Thanks,
Jim
