Passing variable to variable
Subject: Passing variable to variable From: Linda van den Brink <lvdbrink@xxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 29 Jul 1999 15:39:12 +0200 |
<item> <name>Amaya</name> <category>web_browser</category> </item> My XML file contains over 500 items belonging to different categories, some to more than one category. A page is generated by category containing those items belonging to that particular category. The page contains a banner displaying the directory structure, like this: web_browser = Internet / Browsers / Web Browsers I want that banner to be populated, depending upon the category items within a category belong to. I've gotten as far as recognizing the category an item belongs to using the XSL stylesheet submitted earlier today by G. Ken Holman. The categories with their respective items are properly generated, but the banner remains the problem. I was thinking that it might be possible to pass on the <xsl:variable> that selects the category element, to another variable that assigns the processor the correct string (Internet / Browsers / Web Browsers). Is it possible doing this without having to completely redesign my current stylesheet? Linda BTW, this is my current stylesheet: <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/XSL/Transform/1.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40" result-ns=""> <xsl:template match="/"> <!--root rule--> <xsl:for-each select="//item"> <!--process all people--> <xsl:sort select="category"/> <xsl:variable name="cat" select="category"/> <!--process only one entry per sorted year--> <xsl:if test="not(preceding-sibling::item[category=$cat])"> <html><head><title><xsl:value-of select="$cat"/></title><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../../../styles/intro.css"></link><script language="JavaScript" src="../../../scripts/introlib.js"></script><script language="JavaScript">function hideAll(itemPrefix){for ( var i = 1; i <= <xsl:number value="count(//item[category=$cat])"/>; i++){hideItem(itemPrefix + i);}}</script></head><body><table class="bannerList"><tr><td class="bannerList"><xsl:value-of select="$cat"/>s</td></tr></table><table style="margin-top: 30px;"><tr><td colspan="2"><h4 style="margin-bottom: 10px">Application</h4></td><td colspan="1"> <h4 style="margin-bottom: 10px">Description</h4> </td> </tr><tr><td class="left" colspan="2"><ul class="headLines"> <!--reselect only those in the given year--> <xsl:for-each select="//item[category=$cat]"> <xsl:element name="a"> <xsl:attribute name="href">javascript:showItem('item<xsl:number value="position()" format="1"/>')</xsl:attribute> <li><xsl:apply-templates select="name"/> <xsl:apply-templates select="version"/></li> </xsl:element> </xsl:for-each> </ul></td><td class="right"> <xsl:for-each select="//item[category=$cat]"> <xsl:sort select="name"/> <xsl:element name="div"> <xsl:attribute name="id">item<xsl:number value="position()" format="1"/></xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="class">newsItem</xsl:attribute> <h4><xsl:apply-templates select="name"/> <xsl:apply-templates select="version"/></h4> <p><xsl:apply-templates select="desc"/></p> </xsl:element> </xsl:for-each> </td></tr></table></body></html> </xsl:if> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
