RE: [xsl] Complex Template Match

["Karl J. Stubsjoen" <karl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have come up with a For-Each solution:

<xsl:template match="ENTRIES_TEMPLATE" mode="PRINTER_FRIENDLY">
	<form action="{$DOC_ACTION}" method="POST">
	<table style="width:{@width};">
		<!-- build header row -->
        <tr><th>&nbsp;</th>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="Entry[1]/Element"
mode="ENTRY_HEADER"/></tr>

 <!-- [[[[[[ FOR EACH SOLUTION ]]]]]]] -->

        <xsl:for-each select="Entry">
	   <xsl:variable name="element_name"><xsl:value-of
select="concat('competitor_name_',position())"/></xsl:variable>
            <xsl:if
test="string($BROWSER_VARS//ELEMENT[@name=$element_name]/.)">
            	<tr>
			  <xsl:apply-templates select="Element" mode="PRINTER_FRIENDLY">
                    	<xsl:with-param name="position"><xsl:value-of
select="position()"/></xsl:with-param>
                    </xsl:apply-templates>
                  </tr>
            </xsl:if>
        </xsl:for-each>


 <!-- [[[[[[ END FOR EACH SOLUTION ]]]]]]] -->


    </table>
    	<input type="hidden" name="ax" value="0"/>
    </form>
</xsl:template>

Subject: [xsl] Complex Template Match


Hello,

I have a complicated match... and complicated to explain, but I will try.
I pass 2 XML sources to a stylesheet:

BROWSER_VARS
ENTRY_TEMPLATE


ENTRY_TEMPLATE will have 50 nodes that match "ENTRY".
BROWSER_VARS will have 1-50 "ELEMENT" entries.

I "apply-templates" on $ENTRY_TEMPLATE//Entry/Element.  (I could
apply-templates on BROWSER_VARS but there is no way to perform a lookup from
BROWSER_VARS to ENTRY_TEMPLATE).

The lookup "match" I do from and ENTRY element to BROWSER_VARS is a
concatenation of the name element of ENTRY and the position() against the
BROWSER_VARS/ELEMENT name attribute.  It looks like this:


=== TEMPLATE MATCH SNIPPET ===
<xsl:template match="Element">
<xsl:variable name="element_name"><xsl:value-of
select="concat(@name,'_',$position)"/></xsl:variable>

<xsl:value-of select="$BROWSER_VARS//ELEMENT[@name=$element_name]/."/>


With all of that said, I'd like to change the following "apply-templates"
rule:
    	<xsl:apply-templates select="Element"/>

To include only "Element"(s) who have a $BROWSWER_VARS//ELEMENT match.
Is this possible?

Karl
