Subject: Re: [xsl] id function doesn't work in conjonction with a XML schema From: Trevor Nash <tcn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2002 12:05:41 +0000 |
Hi Giro, > >The id() function works only in conjonction with a >DTD. Instead a DTD I have a XML schema. I tried with >xalan and xt and the result is the same. It doesn't >work. What's the problem? > You said it yourself: id() needs the information in the DTD to work out which attributes to index on. In the absence of a DTD you can use xsl:key and key() to do the same job. If you do not like replicating information in the schema in a hand-written xsl:key, then you could write a stylesheet which takes the schema as input and produces a stylesheet containing just some xsl:key definitions: import this into the main stylesheet. Maybe someone has already done this?
