RE: displaying sql results in dropdown menus

<option  value= "$idattr1">
         >    <xsl:value-of select="$idattr2"/>
        >    </option>

There is a  problem is in the above code..
you must use a curly brackets around the value.. like
<option  value= "{idattr1}>
             <xsl:value-of select="$idattr2"/>
            </option>

You must use curly brackets when printing an attribute value which is not hard coded...
this is also referred to as attribute-value template..

Try This .. If ii works, Then I have understood your problem correctly.If not then please give more information and explain your problem better.

Subject: [xsl] displaying sql results in dropdown menus Date: Thu, 19 Aug 2004 09:53:17 +0200

Hello!


I'm trying to get dropdown menus of values from a xml file, which is the result of a SQL request:

<td>Collection</td>

// here I caught the names of the request's attributes

            <idattr>sql:id_collection</idattr>
            <idattr>sql:libelle_collection</idattr>

            <td>
<rowset xmlns="http://apache.org/cocoon/SQL/2.0"; nrofrows="12">
                <row>
                    <id_collection>1</id_collection>
                    <libelle_collection>CIP</libelle_collection>
                </row>
                <row>
                    <id_collection>2</id_collection>
                    <libelle_collection>Champignons</libelle_collection>
                </row>
                <row>
                    <id_collection>3</id_collection>
                    <libelle_collection>IEBC</libelle_collection>
                </row>

            </rowset>
            </td>


I modified the  XSL file page2html.xsl  in  the following way:

(I don't directly put the attributes' id s in the xsl because I want a generalized file,
which could work for any request' s result)

<xsl:template match="sql:rowset">

// I catch the attributes' ids in xsl variables

    <xsl:variable name="idattr1" select="../../idattr[1]"/>
    <xsl:variable name="idattr2" select="../../idattr[2]"/>

     <select size="1" name="">
           <option value="-1">- Sélectionnez :</option>


// And I try to get their values in a dropdown list

            <xsl:for-each select="sql:row">
                <option  value= "$idattr1">
               <xsl:value-of select="$idattr2"/>
              </option>
             </xsl:for-each>
        </select>

...
 All I manage to obtain is :

<td>Collection</td>
<td>
<select name="" size="1">
<option value="-1">- Sélectionnez :</option>
<option value="$idattr1">sql:libelle_collection</option>
<option value="$idattr1">sql:libelle_collection</option>
<option value="$idattr1">sql:libelle_collection</option>
</select></td>

instead of the dropdown list with the values INSIDE the " libelle_collection" tags...
Perhaps it is a problem with Cocoon's SQL Transformer...

Has anybody a clue?


Many many thanks in advance for your help!!

Matt
