Subject: [xsl] for-each variable combination producing different output From: "Andrew Welch" <andrew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2001 12:15:50 +0100 |
Hi, Im using for-each mappings in my xsl files to display the contents of my xml files. One xsl file, called all.xsl, simply displays records. Other xsl files, store the 'result' tree in a variable then use a for-each mapping to step through the results. The problem is that when I use a $results variable I get a different output to just accessing nodes through an xpath expression. I test to see if certain nodes exist in the xml file, if they do some links are output. However, if a variable is used for the for-each mapping, all of the links appear at the top of the output seemingly as if they have been processed before the rest of the xml. Ive read that using for-each misses the point of xsl, and that I should be using templates. Is this the case and would it solve this problem?? Many Thanks andrew ===extract of all.xsl, this works fine========== <xsl:for-each select="TBD/business"> <xsl:sort select="."/> <tr> <td width="230" style="font-weight:bold;"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="link!=''"> <a><xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of select="link"/></xsl:attribute><xsl:value-of select="name"/></a> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:value-of select="name"/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> ********this code seems to be run first******** <xsl:if test="postcode!=''"> <a><xsl:attribute name="class">little_link</xsl:attribute><xsl:attribute name="href">http://uk.multimap.com/p/browse.cgi?pc=<xsl:value-of select="translate(postcode,' ','')"/></xsl:attribute><xsl:attribute name="target">new</xsl:attribute> map </a> </xsl:if> <xsl:if test="email!=''"> <a><xsl:attribute name="class">little_link</xsl:attribute><xsl:attribute name="href">mailto:<xsl:value-of select="email"/></xsl:attribute> email </a> </xsl:if> <xsl:if test="website!=''"> <a><xsl:attribute name="class">little_link</xsl:attribute><xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of select="website"/></xsl:attribute><xsl:attribute name="target">new</xsl:attribute> webiste </a> </xsl:if> ************************** </td> <td width="220" rowspan="2" style="font-size:150%;"><xsl:value-of select="telephone"/></td> <td rowspan="2"> ......... ======================== other files use ===== <xsl:for-each select="$results"> ====== as the for-each mapping, which outputs the results of the if-tests at the top of the xml. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
