Re: [xsl] to draw a table in xsl

Mostly, the requested output was:
Table
100
102
but your stylesheet gives
Table: 100 , 102 ,
which seems wrong.

:-)

I think we are more concentrating on the Logic to get what we want and
not the fact that there were commas and linefeeds etc..
The loop was important. Thaz what I posted.. I suppose that quite
understood here in this group .

Also, your output is in an incomplete, invalid, and unrenderable html file
while the request was just for output.


:-) :-) again/.

I did not specify if it was a HTML or a Text or  XML.. I am not sure
how u assumed it was HTML..  I am not sure if there was any HTML
element in my stylesheet. Again.. The Intention of posting a reply is
to lead the original poster towards a solution..


All that was specified was output, with linefeeds, and xsl:message seems
like the simplest way to do just that.

I am not sure if you understood what you said or what I said.. If the
person who asked the question actually used the <xsl:message> as u
suggested, I am afraid, unless he was running his transformer in the
command prompt or some form of std out, he will never be able to see
the results... and using the xsl:message here is misusing it and will
be no use if you the developer wanted to use the values.. Thaz why the
value-of select is for.. I suppose and i am sure everybody here agrees
that the default way that comes to thinking of any xsl developer to
out put a value would be xsl:value-of select ..


What else can I say ???

Hi Vasu,

The key could be a nice extra, especially if the source became larger, which
was not specified. I doubt that there would be a performance gain in this
sample.
It does not seem to make the xslt xml referencing any clearer or simpler
either, in this case.

Mostly, the requested output was:
Table
100
102
but your stylesheet gives
Table: 100 , 102 ,
which seems wrong.

Also, your output is in an incomplete, invalid, and unrenderable html file
while the request was just for output.

If it is to be in an html file, apart from required enclosing elements,
there may also be a few other considerations, including how to generate the
linefeeds instead of the commas.

If it is to be a text file rather, or an XML element or format of some kind,
that would be different also.

All that was specified was output, with linefeeds, and xsl:message seems
like the simplest way to do just that.

Cheers,
ac



Hey AC,
What did u expect the <xsl:message> will do???

 <xsl:message> element writes a message to the output. Normally used
for printing debug messages or error messages...  you probably want a
value-of select .. to be able to get the value out...

Try this XSL.. Notice the use of Keys..

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:key name="column" match="/root/tabledisplayedcolumns/columnname"
use="text()"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
Table:
<xsl:for-each select = "/root/tablevalues/*[key('column',name())]">
<xsl:value-of select = "."/>
,
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
 version="1.0">

 <xsl:template match="/">
     <xsl:message>Table</xsl:message>
     <xsl:for-each select="root/tabledisplayedcolumns/columnname">
         <xsl:message>
             <xsl:value-of select="root/tablevalues/*[current() eq
name()]"/>
         </xsl:message>
     </xsl:for-each>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

for example.




 How can I achive this in xsl


 <root>
   <tablevalues>
     <column1>100</column1>
     <column2>101</column2>
     <column3>102</column3>
    </tablevalues>
    <tabledisplayedcolumns>
     <columnname>column1</columnname>
     <columnname>column3</columnname>
    </tabledisplayedcolumns>
 </root>


 Output:

 Table
 100
 102
