Hi all,
First post. The problem I am having is creating a table using
templates. Currently my named templates out put the results in a table
format. I would like to have a master template that outputs all the
data at once, thus I have control of what the table looks like. I
currently have three XML documents merged together by ASP into one XML
document with the root node of directory. From this XML document I
have been able to pull out all the data I need using templates
specific to the nodes I am trying to acess. For example:
<xsl:template name="staffTitle" match="//directory/staffTitle/Position">
<table>
<tbody>
<td><xsl:value-of select="Phone"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="pEmail"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="Title"/></td>
</tbody>
</table>
</xsl:template>
Where I am running into trouble is when I try to create the master
template to include all of the named templates information. I have
experimented using a template such as:
<xsl:template name="master" match="//directory">
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="dptFull"/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Location: <xsl:value-of select="Location"/></td>
<td>Phone: <xsl:value-of select="Phone" /></td>
<td>Fax: <xsl:value-of select="Fax"/></td>
<td>Box: <xsl:value-of select="oBox"/></td>
</tr>
etc...
but this does not return the data in the nodes. The real question is,
is it possible to combine these named templates into a template that
can access all of their data? The master template being a table
structure using <xsl:value-of select=""/> as the way to acess data. It
works well with my named templates acessing specific parts of the XML
document. What is the hangup with going to a larger scale? I know
nesting is not a option and have read some info about using Modes but
that does not seem like it will work for what I am trying to do. I am
getting a book on Wednesday but am hoping for some help from this
wealth of knowledge. Please ask for more details or more code if that
is what you need.
Thank you,
I appreciate the help.
