I would like the results to look something like this. It is sort of like a
book,section,chapter senario.
<h>title of book</h>
<h>Section 1</h>
<a>chapter 1</a>
<h>chapter 2</h>
<a>subchapter 1</a>
<h>Section 2</h>
<a>chapter 1</a>
<a>chapter 2</a>
<h>Section 3</h>
<h>Section 4</h>
<a>chapter 1</a>
the problem is that I will never know how deep/levels the standard can be.
tia,
jason

i have an xml document that needs to be transformed which seems to perfect
for recursion. (this is my first attempt at trying this) it is essentialy a
nested menu system of links. the basic logic is it checks to see if a node
has a child, if it does print a header otherwise a link. i built the xml
document using recursion, i just can't figure out how to transform it useing
the same technique. samples of both xml and xslt
xml doc:
<?xml ?>
<standards>
<standard id="1" name="test">
<standard id ="32" name="test" />
<standard id ="45" name="test>
<standard id ="23" name="test" />
<standard id ="12" name="test" />
</standard>
</standard>
</standards>
xslt:
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:template name="buildmenu">
<xsl:param name="foo" />
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="position()!=last()">
<xsl:choose>
<!-- test to see if foo has children
if so print header -->
<xsl:when test="count($foo) != 0">
has child print header
<h2><xsl:value-of select="@name" /></h2>
<xsl:call-template name="buildmenu">
<xsl:with-param name="foo" select="$foo" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<!-- no children print link -->
<a><xsl:attribute name="href">addlinkinfol8r</xsl:attribute><xsl:value-of
select="@name" /></a>
<xsl:call-template name="buildmenu">
<xsl:with-param name="foo" select="$foo" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<a><xsl:attribute name="href">addlinkinfol8r</xsl:attribute><xsl:value-of
select="@name" /></a>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="standards">
<xsl:call-template name="buildmenu">
<xsl:with-param name="foo" select="standard" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
<!--<xsl:template match="standards">
<xsl:for-each select="standard">
<a><xsl:attribute name="href">addlinkinfol8r</xsl:attribute><xsl:value-of
select="@name" /></a>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template> -->
</xsl:transform>
