Subject: [xsl] xsl/xml question
Date: Mon, 3 Mar 2003 18:17:20 -0800
Dear List,
I have the following XML Data format:
<ProductList>
<Product>
<ProductID>111</ProductID>
<ProductName>abc</ProductName>
...
</Product>
</ProductList>
and I need to transform it with the corresponding XSL template using the
transformNode of MicrosoftXMLDOM
the XSL Template goes:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl";>
<xsl:template match="/">
<table border="2">
<xsl:for-each select="/ProductList/Product">
<tr>
<td>
Product ID: <xsl:value-of select="ProductID"/><br/>
Product Name: <a href="$ProductID"><xsl:value-of
select="ProductName"/></a><br/>
Product Code: <xsl:value-of
select="ProductCode"/><br/>
Description: <xsl:value-of
select="Description"/><br/>
Picture: <xsl:value-of select="Picture"/><br/>
<xsl:value-of select="Active"/><br/>
<xsl:value-of select="bNew"/><br/>
<xsl:value-of select="Special"/><br/>
<xsl:value-of select="AllowWriteIn"/><br/>
<xsl:value-of select="WriteInText"/><br/>
<xsl:value-of select="ListPrice"/><br/>
<xsl:value-of select="SellingPrice"/><br/>
<xsl:value-of select="PricePerUnit"/><br/>
<xsl:value-of select="MemberPrice"/><br/>
<xsl:value-of select="ActualCost"/><br/>
<xsl:value-of select="VolumePricing"/><br/>
<xsl:value-of select="VolumeQuantity"/><br/>
<xsl:value-of select="VolumePrice"/><br/>
<xsl:value-of select="VolumeEvenQuantity"/><br/>
<xsl:value-of
select="ApplyQuantitiesOverVolume"/><br/>
<xsl:value-of select="SupplierID"/><br/>
<xsl:value-of select="ExternalURL"/><br/>
<xsl:value-of select="ExtraInfoOffer"/><br/>
<xsl:value-of select="ExtraInfoLocation"/><br/>
<xsl:value-of select="Status"/><br/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
now, if you can see this part:
Product Name: <a href="$ProductID"><xsl:value-of
select="ProductName"/></a><br/>
Product Code: <xsl:value-of
select="ProductCode"/><br/>
I'm trying to get the value of ProductID and assign it to the "href"
attribute of the element <a>... anyone knows how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance :)
Firstly aviod using the antiquated working draft transformation language
indicated by:
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl";
change this to:
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
if you are using version 3 parser or better and set the selectionLanguage to
"XPath". See help docs for examples.
Secondly what you need is called an Attribute Value Template. Change:
<a href="$ProductID">
to
<a href="{$ProductID}">
anything in {} will be evaluated as an XPath expression.
