Re: [xsl] XML Data Islands, XML Menu Trees and other stuff

[António Mota <xptm@xxxxxxx>]

Well, i'm using Sarissa on the Javascript side and so far so good. The
problem
now is with XSL itself.

I'm trying to transform
http://gti.clientes.gtinformatica.pt/Site/Java/Menus.xml
with http://gti.clientes.gtinformatica.pt/Site/Java/dmenus.xsl . You can see
the result in http://gti.clientes.gtinformatica.pt/Site/Java/tap.html .

My problem is in this lines
		<xsl:variable name="position">
			<xsl:number level='any' count="menu"/>
		</xsl:variable>
(...)
		<xsl:if test="$position = $pos">
			<xsl:apply-templates select="menu"/>
		</xsl:if>

where pos is the position of the node "clicked".
They're working OK on the first level of menus, but not on the second. If i
click the 3 it expands correctly to 3.1 but 3.1 does not expand to 3.1.1 .

I've tryed lots of combinations, including using the parent:: node and all.
The
closest i can get is using

<xsl:if test="$position &lt;= $pos">

but than expands all the sub-menus, not the only one i want.

I also tryed position() instead of xsl:number, but no success.

Can someone help?

Thanks.
