RE: Attribute Names of the longest branch (Creating CSV data)

["Steve Brown" <prospect@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

As my data is going to be output to a text file (not html) I dont use a
table element.  If you are outputing to a table well you'll need to change
the code a little.

As for the header file I have come up with something which is very kludgy
but works for me.  It assumes that the depth of your data goes no more than
7 levels down though:

<xsl:template match="*" mode="headercreator">
		<xsl:choose>
			<xsl:when test="*[*/*/*/*/*/*]"><xsl:apply-templates
select="*[*/*/*/*/*/*]" mode="headers" /></xsl:when>
			<xsl:when test="*[*/*/*/*/*]"><xsl:apply-templates select="*[*/*/*/*/*]"
mode="headers" /></xsl:when>
			<xsl:when test="*[*/*/*/*]"><xsl:apply-templates select="*[*/*/*/*]"
mode="headers" /></xsl:when>
			<xsl:when test="*[*/*/*]"><xsl:apply-templates select="*[*/*/*]"
mode="headers" /></xsl:when>
			<xsl:when test="*[*/*]"><xsl:apply-templates select="*[*/*]"
mode="headers" /></xsl:when>
			<xsl:when test="*[*]"><xsl:apply-templates select="*[*]" mode="headers"
/></xsl:when>
			<xsl:when test="*"><xsl:apply-templates select="*" mode="headers"
/></xsl:when>
			<xsl:otherwise/>
		</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>


<xsl:template match="@*"><xsl:value-of select="."/>,</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*">
	<xsl:param name="sofar"></xsl:param>
	<xsl:param name="concat"><xsl:value-of
select="$sofar"/><xsl:apply-templates select="@*" /></xsl:param>
	<xsl:apply-templates><xsl:with-param name="sofar"
select="$concat"/></xsl:apply-templates>
	<xsl:if test="count(*) = 0">
		<xsl:value-of
select="substring(string($concat),0,string-length(string($concat)))"/><xsl:t
ext>&#10;</xsl:text>
	</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>


<xsl:template match="@*" mode="headers"><xsl:value-of
select="name()"/>,</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*" mode="headers">
	<xsl:param name="sofar"></xsl:param>
	<xsl:param name="concat"><xsl:value-of
select="$sofar"/><xsl:apply-templates select="@*"
mode="headers"/></xsl:param>
	<xsl:apply-templates select="*[position()=1]"
mode="headers"><xsl:with-param name="sofar"
select="$concat"/></xsl:apply-templates>
	<xsl:if test="count(*) = 0">
		<xsl:value-of
select="substring(string($concat),0,string-length(string($concat)))"/><xsl:t
ext>&#10;</xsl:text>
	</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>


pretty ugly isnt it!  Still I cant come up with anything better at the
moment.  I have no idea how it would perform under any significant load
either.  Hopefully someone will give me a better solution but until then...

Hope this helps,

Steve

Steve,
   It looks good.The only tag it requires is a <table> since the format is a
table format which ofcourse is not a problem or hole :) .So did u find a way
to display the title or u still working on it.Im working on it right now.

Thanx,
Francis
