Subject: [xsl] Comparing Variables From: "Fernandes, John" <jfernandes@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 1 May 2003 13:48:08 -0400 |
Hi I am still new to this technology so bare with my problem. I have a default value from a xml document for an employee as <employee>John Doe</employee>. In the XSL stylesheet I have a node set creating a drop down list as described below <select name="employee"> <xsl:for-each select="$v_employee/name"> <option value="{.}"><xsl:value-of select="."/></option> </xsl:for-each> </select> My problem is this. I want to be able to compare as each list item is being created the value of the current item to the default value in employee, so that I may make that value on the list the Selected Item. I have tried the attempt below. However it seems that the value of the default value (employee) is always null. ***<xsl:value-of select="employee"/> --- Value is John Doe *********** <select name="employee"> <xsl:for-each select="$v_employer/employer/option"> ***<xsl:value-of select="employee"/> --- Value is empty *********** <xsl:if test="employee= '{.}"> <option value="{.}" selected="selected"><xsl:value-of select="./description"/></option> </xsl:if> <xsl:if test="not(employee= '{.}')"> <option value="{.}" "><xsl:value-of select="./description"/></option> </xsl:if> </xsl:for-each> </select> I guess my question is can this be done or how can I bring a value from the main template in to be compared to the item on the list as it is iterating through it.
