[xsl] Re: xsl-list Digest 12 Mar 2005 06:10:01 -0000 Issue 354 - Thanks for help, but still stuck!

[David Laub <dlaub@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I apologize for my stupidy on many levels:

1) mis-spelling Data-Driven as Data-Dtriven
2) The copy & paste from XMLSpy stuck the irrelevant
chars "3D" all over the place
3) not really getting your solution - your solution
seems to depend on the LR.XML file having elements
with a from attribute - these elements don't have
attributes.  So, I'm still stuck!

Thanks - even if you can no longer spare any time for
a newbie!

LR.xml

<LR>
	<Name>David Laub</Name>
	<Age>53</Age>
	<Addr>4645 W. Jerome</Addr>
	<Telephone>847-674 2266</Telephone>
	<City>Skokie</City>
	<State>IL</State>
</LR>

LRLookup1.xml

<LRLookUp1>
	<Element from="LR/Name" to="Name"/>
	<Element from="LR/City" to="HomeTown"/>
</LRLookUp1>

GenericLRFilter.xsl

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";>
	<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
	<xsl:variable name="LossReport"
select="document('XSLT/LR.xml')"/>
	<xsl:template match="*">
		<xsl:element name="LRFilteredData">
			<xsl:apply-templates/>
		</xsl:element>
	</xsl:template>
	<xsl:template match="/LRLookUp1/Element">
		<xsl:element name="{./@to}">
			<xsl:value-of select="$LossReport/LR[./@from]"/>
		</xsl:element>
		<xsl:apply-templates/>
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


actual results:

<LRFilteredData>
	<Name></Name>
	<HomeTown></HomeTown>
</LRFilteredData>

desired results:

<LRFilteredData>
	<Name>David Laub</Name>
	<HomeTown>Skokie</HomeTown>
</LRFilteredData>
