FW: For Loop in XSL

[Ben Robb <Ben@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Lets try that again, shall we (without pressing Ctrl-Enter halfway through
writing it *grin*)



I wouldn't use anything like "END_INDEX" in my XML. Try something like this:


--- XML ---

<item>1</item>
<item>2</item>
<item>3</item>
.....
<item>10</item>


--- XSL ---

<select name="number">
<xsl:for-each select="item">
	<option value="{text()}"><xsl:value-of /></option>
</xsl:for-each>
</select>


That is probably the most elegant way - you never need to actually know how
many options you have, so you can extend it by only changing the XML in one
place.

Rgs,

Ben

Subject: For Loop in XSL


Greetings,
    hi, I'm new in XSL. I need to generate a drop down
box in the HTML. I got the END_INDEX from the XML file
and the default start index is always 1 and increment
is +1.

   My question is: how am I going to populate the drop
down box value in my XSL ? Can it be done? (i.e. using
maybe a for loop). I know there is a <xsl:for-each>
but is it suitable to use in this case?

   Part of My XML file:
    <END_INDEX>10</END_INDEX>

   My XSL File:
    <SELECT NAME="NUMBER">
     ??...
    </SELECT>

   Ideal Output:
    <SELECT NAME="NUMBER">
    <OPTION VALUE="1">1</OPTION>
    <OPTION VALUE="2">2</OPTION>
    <OPTION VALUE="3">3</OPTION>
    <OPTION VALUE="4">4</OPTION>
    <OPTION VALUE="5">5</OPTION>
    <OPTION VALUE="6">6</OPTION>
    <OPTION VALUE="7">7</OPTION>
    <OPTION VALUE="8">8</OPTION>
    <OPTION VALUE="9">9</OPTION>
    <OPTION VALUE="10">10</OPTION>
    </SELECT>

    Any suggestion? TIA!

June
