Subject: grouping by attribute From: "Sargeant, Richard (GEIS)" <Richard.Sargeant@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 23 Aug 1999 13:50:33 +0200 |
Can anyone suggest a better way to achieve the following... I need to group the xml elements category and place each category in a separate table. For example: my xml file is... <test> <item category="aaa">1xxxxxxxaaa</item> <item category="bbb">2xxxxxxxbbb</item> <item category="zzz">3xxxxxxxzzz</item> <item category="bbb">4xxxxxxxbbb</item> <item category="yyy">5xxxxxxxyyy</item> </test> Currently I use the following XSL which works but it requires I hardcode each attribute. Is this where I should use a xsl:variable? <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40" result-ns=""> <xsl:template match="*|/"><xsl:apply-templates/></xsl:template> <xsl:template match="test"> <xsl:sort select="item@category"/> <p/><table border="1"> <xsl:apply-templates select="item[@category='aaa']"/> </table> <p/><table border="1"> <xsl:apply-templates select="item[@category='bbb']"/> </table> <p/><table border="1"> <xsl:apply-templates select="item[@category='yyy']"/> </table> <p/><table border="1"> <xsl:apply-templates select="item[@category='zzz']"/> </table> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="item[@category='aaa']"> <tr><td><xsl:value-of select="."/></td></tr> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="item[@category='bbb']"> <tr><td><xsl:value-of select="."/></td></tr> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="item[@category='yyy']"> <tr><td><xsl:value-of select="."/></td></tr> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="item[@category='zzz']"> <tr><td><xsl:value-of select="."/></td></tr> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="text()"><xsl:value-of select="."/></xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> regards Richard XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
