Q. Is this caused because the dept_id is at a higher level in the XML
structure?
A. No.
Q. Is this a problem with my select="DEPT" actually selecting something more
than just the
ID for the department.
A. No.
It's caused by the carriage return and linefeed that you have put in your XML
file, i.e.:
<DEPT>
1
<EMPS>
I suggest that you re-structure your XML and template to look like this:
<DEPT>
<DEPT_NUM>1</DEPT_NUM>
<EMPS>
<EMP_NAME> Fred Bloggs</EMP_NAME>
<EMP_AGE> 25 </EMP_AGE>
</EMPS>
<EMPS>
<EMP_NAME> Joe Smith</EMP_NAME>
<EMP_AGE> 35 </EMP_AGE>
</EMPS>
</DEPT>
<xsl:template mode="depts" match="DEPT">
<xsl:value-of select="DEPT_NUM" /> <xsl:value-of select="EMP_NAME" />
</xsl:template>
There is absolutely no need for <xsl:for-each> and <xsl:param> in this
situation. It only confuses things.

Morning list!
I have the following XML structure:
<DEPT_DETAILS>
<DEPT>
1
<EMPS>
<EMP_NAME> Fred Bloggs</EMP_NAME>
<EMP_AGE> 25 </EMP_AGE>
</EMPS>
<EMPS>
<EMP_NAME> Joe Smith</EMP_NAME>
<EMP_AGE> 35 </EMP_AGE>
</EMPS>
</DEPT>
<DEPT>
2
<EMPS>
<EMP_NAME> Jill Bloggs</EMP_NAME>
<EMP_AGE> 19 </EMP_AGE>
</EMPS>
<EMPS>
<EMP_NAME> Gerry Halliwell</EMP_NAME>
<EMP_AGE> 45 </EMP_AGE>
</EMPS>
</DEPT>
</DEPT_DETAILS>
I want the following output (as text):
1 Fred Bloggs
1 Joe Smith
2 Jill Bloggs
2 Gerry Halliwell
So my template looks something like:
<xsl:apply-template mode="depts" select="DEPT_DETAILS/DEPT"/>
<xsl:template mode="depts" match="*">
<xsl:param name="deptID" select="DEPT"/>
<xsl:for-each select="EMPS">
<xsl:value-of select="$deptID"/>
<xsl:value-of select="EMP_NAME"/>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text> <!-- Add CR -->
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
But the output I am getting is along the lines of:
1
Fred Bloggs
1
Joe Smith
2
Jill Bloggs
2
Gerry Halliwell
With the emp name being on a second line. Is this caused because the
dept_id is at a higher level in the XML structure? Is this a problem
with my select="DEPT" actually selecting something more than just the
ID for the department.
Any answers/suggestions appreciated....
Matt
