i'm creating a dropdown that is populated by page numbers determined
by xsl and a number of items per page. i've got the dropdown working
with the js and xsl, but now i'm trying to have the *current* page be
the one that displays when the dropdown is created (so if i'm on page
4, "4" is the pre-selected option in the dropdown.
i know the attribute in html is <option selected> -- but it causes an
xsl transform error every time. i know this, because i've taken just
that one attribute out of my code, and the code doesn't break.
<code>
<!-- dropdown page menu -->
<select id="pageMenu"
onChange="turnPage();">
<xsl:for-each
select="//PageOffset">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test=". != ../CurrentItemOffset">
<option><xsl:value-of select="position()"/></option>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<option selected><xsl:value-of select="position()" /></
option>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>
</select>
</code>
If i take out the 'selected' attribute in the <xsl:otherwise> clause,
the page loads normally. Obviously, the choose block is pointless if i
do that, though!
i'm positing that the transform is choking on the 'selected' because
it looks like the 'select' attribute in xsl - but it's not in an xsl
tag, so why?
Of course, just like last time, the error message is not helpful:
<blockquote>
XSL Transform Error:
java.lang.Exception: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: character not
allowed
Message:org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: character not allowed
</blockquote>
can anyone tell me why 'selected' is breaking the page, and if there's
a way to do this?
thank you!
