Subject: Re: [xsl] Iterating over all the Ancestors From: Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2002 13:47:50 -0500 |
<xsl:template match="data"> <xsl:for-each select="ancestor-or-self::*"> <xsl:if test="ancestor::*"> <!-- if the ancestor element has an ancestor element, it's not first: prepend it with some formatting --> <xsl:text> -> </xsl:text> </xsl:if> <xsl:value-of select="text"/> <!-- reports the value of the <text> element child, which is our label --> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template>
I hope this helps, Wendell
I have been trying to figure out a way of iterating over the parent nodes of a particular child all the way to the root of the tree.
Essentially, I'd like to display the path which I have taken to get to the current child, but I would like to do it in such a way that at a future point in time, I can modify my style sheet to include hyperlinks at each parent node. An example xml file would be:
<data><text>Title for web page</text> <data><text>Motivation</text> <data><text>White Pages</text></data> <data><text>References</text></data> </data> <data><text>Requirements</text> <data><text>Software</text></data> <data><text>Hardware</text></data> </data> <data><text>Design</text> <data><text>Interfaces</text> <data><text>Hardware-Software</text></data> <data><text>Legacy Software</text></data> </data> <data><text>Functions</text></data> </data> <data><text>Implementation</text></data> <data><text>Verification</text></data> <data><text>Documentation</text></data> <data><text>Archive</text></data> </data>
Suppose that we are at the following X-Path: /<root data>/<Design data>/<Interfaces data>/<Hardware-Software data>
I would like to develop a template that essentially displays the path above in the following way:
Title for web page -> Design -> Interfaces -> Hardware-Software
At each point, if I added a <href> node within the xml tree as a child of the <data> element, then I would like to be able to hyperlink each individual node...
Thanks! Bix
