I am new to XSl, generating HTML report dynamically from XML & XSL.
A Users Can Select Columns & Can change lable name of Fields ( Table
Headers) , he likes to see on generated report.
for example
this customer.xml generated with following fields names.
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="read.xsl"?>
<Customers>
<Customer customercode="11" AccountNo="21221">
<Name>
<FirstName></FirstName>
<LastName></LastName>
</Name>
<DOB>29/04/1976</DOB>
<PassportNo>A321312</PassportNo>
<Address>
<Street></Street>
<City></City>
<State></State>
<Country></Country>
<Zipcode></Zipcode>
</Address>
</Customer>
<Customer >
....
</Customer>
</Customers>
and corresponding XSL File is like this
<xsl:template match="Customer">
<tr>
<td>
<table border="1" width="100%">
<tr>
<td>
<span style="font-weight:bold">
CustomerName</span>:
<span
style="font-size:small"><xsl:value-of select="Name" />
</span>
<br />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<span style="font-weight:bold">NCSNO
</span> : <xsl:value-of select="DOB" /><br/>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<span
style="font-weight:bold">PassportNo</span>: <xsl:value-of
select="PassportNo" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<span
style="font-weight:bold">Address</span>:
<xsl:value-of
select="Address/Street" />, <xsl:value-of select="Address/City" /> <br />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> <xsl:value-of select="Address/State"
/>, <xsl:value-of select="Address/Country" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="Address/Zipcode" /> </td>
</tr>
</table>
</xsl:template>
Now when users change lables of fields
for e.g
DOB to DateOfBirth .
or
ZipCode to PostCode.
corresponding Customer.xml file, look like this
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="read.xsl"?>
<Customers>
<Customer customercode="11" AccountNo="21221">
<Name>
<FirstName></FirstName>
<LastName></LastName>
</Name>
<!-- change Tag From DOB to DateOfBirth-->
<DateOfBirth>29/04/1976</DOB>
<PassportNo>A321312</PassportNo>
<Address>
<Street></Street>
<City></City>
<State></State>
<Country></Country>
<!-- change tag from ZipCode to PostCode -->
<PostCode></PostCode>
</Address>
</Customer>
<Customer >
....
</Customer>
</Customers>
is there any solution which can solve problem with out rewriting XSL
Template again?? or
any other better way, to tackle this Problem????
