Subject: RE: [xsl] getting the node position in source xml in a variable From: Gurvinder Singh <GurvinderS@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2002 16:32:20 +0200 |
Yes the structure is always like this (i.e data and display nodes are always siblings) but the xpath can change (different names of tags..).. we want to keep it at one place so that if we want to change something we have to change only at one place.. For example, are the display nodes and associated data nodes always siblings of each other, nested under some other node? Very Correct..

For example, rather than using the lookup template at all, you could just do: <select name="test"> <xsl:for-each select="/test/nodes/level2"> <xsl:sort select="display" /> <option id="{data}" value="{data}"> <xsl:value-of select="concat(data, '-', display)" /> </option> </xsl:for-each> </select> I guess that you're using the lookup template so that you can create other select elements in the same kind of way elsewhere. Making the lookup template absolutely generic will make it comparatively inefficient, so before going to that extreme, perhaps you could describe the variety of situations in which you want to use the lookup template? For example, are the display nodes and associated data nodes always siblings of each other, nested under some other node?
