Re: Unique html name, id, and for form fields
2005-05-11 06:27:39
Thanks for your reply.
I understand the unique id part and added an id field to my xml
document used with the select box. Now how can I create unique id's,
for's, and name's that can later be accessed in some organized way by
a server side script. For example I would like to be able to determine
the value of the select box for the row of the Go button that was
clicked.
I've created a more specific example to use, I'm just looking for a
more generic way of doing it. I was thinking this could be done by
just calling a generic repeat template but I am not sure where to
start.
Desired output:

Hi,
Please find below the xsl stylesheet that does what you want.
Since you want 1 select box for each AC_Request in your source xml, there
has to be a distinguishing factor in your source xml. I could only find
that the time differed in the RequestDate attribute in the 3 AC_Request
elements. Therefore I have used the concatenation of the RequestDate and
the result of the generate-id function as the value of each option.
The only problem I can foresee is due to the ever-changing nature of time,
the option values too would keep changing resulting in your having to
change your server side programs each time the source xml changes. I would
suggest you add another attribute to that is unique across AC_REQUEST and
is more deterministic.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [xsl] Unique html name,
id, and for form fields
05/11/2005
02:00 AM
Please
respond to
xsl-list
I am working on creating an html report from two xml sources. The
first source is the xml that needs to be displayed in the report. The
second source is used to populate a select box. The problem i'm having
is with the multiple for-each's necessary to do this. In the
for-each's I need to generate unique id's, name's and for's in a way
that they can be processed server side later.
Here is what I currently have:
