Subject: Re: [xsl] Creating an input form, XML -> XSLT -> HTML From: Ron King <roncking@xxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 29 Dec 2001 17:04:32 -0600 |
I was able to use xslt like this: <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"> First Name: <![CDATA[<]]>input type="text" name="</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="generate-id()"/><xsl:text>" value="</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="GivenName"/><xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">"> </xsl:text> To get this: First Name: <input type="text" name="N40003D" value="Jane"> This is valid input in an HTML form. These names occur at multiple levels, so it takes a different xpath expression to reach them. Ultimately I have to be able to associate the field name, "N40003D" to the xpath that would find the element in a DOM object, so that I may update it. If I can somehow figure out how to use xslt to get a string representing the xpath to the element, I could use JSP to build a HashTable of the name-value pairs. How can I get a string representing the path in xslt?
