XSLT Problem - Random Order2003-10-06 01:11:55Hi,
Currently I am facing the following problem while
converting documents into HTML from XML. I need help
to solve this.
Thanks,
Saurabh
Problem:
I want to see the output of books.xml file as category
wise. In books.xml 3 categories are given c1, c2, c3
within book elements. I want to see either c3 first or
c2 first in html output. But everytime it is coming as
per .xml document. I am writing the books.xml,
books.xsl below. Can you suggest me what specific
command I have to give in .xsl document.
books.xml
----------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<books>
<book category="c1">
<title>ABC</title>
<auth>XX</auth>
</book>
<book category="c2">
<title>SSS</title>
<auth>YY</auth>
</book>
<book category="c3">
<title>MNB</title>
<auth>ZZ</auth>
</book>
</books>
books.xsl
------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<table border="1" width="60%" align="center"
cellpadding="0">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="books">
<xsl:for-each select="//book">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@category='c3'">
<tr>
<td align="center">
<xsl:value-of
select="title"/>
</td>
<td align="center">
<xsl:value-of
select="auth"/>
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="@category='c1'">
<tr>
<td align="center">
<xsl:value-of
select="title"/>
</td>
<td align="center">
<xsl:value-of
select="auth"/>
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="@category='c2'">
<tr>
<td align="center">

select="title"/>
</td>
<td align="center">
