Re: [xsl] Need Help

[Brant Schroeder <brantschr@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry, I am new to this and just happened to come across the site.  I will do
a little reading.  I thought you could pass parameters into the xslt and use
it within conditional statments.  I guess I was wrong.  Thanks for the help I
will just keep tring to put something together that meets my needs.  If anyone
else has any other ideas about this your help would be appreciated.

Knell seemed to think that it was possible but I am not as wise as him so I
don't know if it is.

not exactly as your
requested format isn't well formed (<a> elements not
closed) but  essentially
I suspect you want something like

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";;>
<xsl:output indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="menu">
  <ul>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </ul>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="item">
  <li>
    <a
href="{@url}"><xsl:value-of select="@title"/></a>
    <xsl:if test="item">
<ul>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
      </ul>
    </xsl:if>
  </li>
</xsl:template>


</xsl:stylesheet>

which produces

<ul>
   <li>
      <a
href="#">Home</a>
   </li>
   <li>
      <a href="#">My Stuff</a>
      <ul>
<li>
            <a href="#">Backgrounds</a>
         </li>
         <li>
<a href="#">Flyers</a>
         </li>
        <li>
            <a
href="#">Posters</a>
         </li>
      </ul>
   </li>
   <li>
      <a
href="#">Portfolio</a>
      <ul>
         <li>
            <a
href="#">Backgrounds</a>
         </li>
         <li>
            <a
href="#">Flyers</a>
         </li>
         <li>
            <a
href="#">Posters</a>
         </li>
         <li>
            <a href="#">More
Information</a>
            <ul>
               <li>
                  <a
href="#">Resume</a>
               </li>
               <li>
<a href="#">Contact Me</a>
               </li>
            </ul>
</li>
      </ul>
   </li>
</ul>

selected by what,
where?

xslt doesn't interact with the browser at all (even if you are using a
client
side xslt that's in the browser) it just generates an html page
that is then
rendered, so if you know what css and/or javascript you
need to get whatever
dynamic effect that you want, then you can generate
that code in xslt, but
xslt doesn't "know" anyting about css or
javascript (or html) it's just
generating an element tree, and the
javascript is just text as fas as xslt is
concerned.
