Subject: different XSL processors {RE: XSL to handle display mutiple pages } From: "Xu, Xiaocun" <XXu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 4 Nov 2000 16:28:22 -0500 |
Hi, Jeni: Agreed. If it is not broken, don't fix it :) Just a related question regarding XSL processor. I am using eXcelon Stylus XSL editor, which had a choice of either Stylus native processor (standard syntax) or IE processor (Microsoft syntax). When I use the native processor, the XSL works. When use the IE processor, it does not. Also, running the XML/XSL in standalone IE, it does not work. So my question is, what processors are out there and which one I should use if my target display is IE? and how to convert the XSL to work in IE?

I tried the following in Saxon 5.5.1: --- XML File --- <?xml version="1.0"?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="test.xsl" ?> <doc> <item>Item1</item> <item>Item2</item> <item>Item3</item> <item>Item4</item> <item>Item5</item> </doc> --- --- Stylesheet --- <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output indent="yes" /> <xsl:variable name="maxItemsPage" select="3" /> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:apply-templates select="//item[(position() mod $maxItemsPage) = 1]" /> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="item"> <group> <xsl:for-each select=". | following::item[position() < $maxItemsPage]"> <item><xsl:value-of select="." /></item> </xsl:for-each> </group> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> --- and got, as expected: --- Result --- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <group> <item>Item1</item> <item>Item2</item> <item>Item3</item> </group> <group> <item>Item4</item> <item>Item5</item> </group> --- So *perhaps* it's the processor - you could try out the above to see what you get - or perhaps it's something about the context in which you're using the expression, or perhaps I've overlooked something somewhere. Feel free to send me your stylesheet if it's bothering you, although as you've found a way that works I'd just stick with that if I were you ;) I hope that helps, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
