Subject: RE: [xsl] wierd textarea behaviour with xsl From: Declan Brennan <dbrennan@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 12 Nov 2002 15:18:15 -0000 |
Thanks but that didn't fix it fully. The problem lies in the fact that the <textarea> tag is not being closed properly if there is no value in the xsl select (if there is, it works ok now). So if there is - the html source looks like : <textarea rows="5" cols="40" name="comment" class="textbox">Dum de dum.</textarea> If there isn't, the html source looks like, (note the lack of closing tag) : <textarea rows="5" cols="40" name="comment" class="textbox"/> So to try and force a value into the box I used an xsl choose. <textarea rows="5" cols="40" name="comment" class="textbox"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="(./currentStatus/comment)"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="./currentStatus/comment != ''"> <xsl:value-of select="./currentStatus/comment"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> No comments. </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:when> </xsl:choose> </textarea> This has fixed it. Man, what a verbose way of having to populate a comment box. If I remove the text between the otherwise tags, it goes back to not closing the <textarea> object properly. Anyone know a better way of doing this, as I'd prefer to keep the textarea empty if there is no value in the xml? Thanks, Declan > This is wierd.

I can't see it. Please help. Outputing something that is not HTML; the textarea element of HTML does not have a value attribute, instead use <textarea rows="5" cols="40" name="comment" class="textbox"> <xsl:value-of select="./currentStatus/comment" /> </textarea> XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
