Subject: RE: [xsl] Novice question: selecting an element based on an attri bute id From: "Brinkman, Theodore" <Theodore.Brinkman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 20 Mar 2002 13:39:21 -0500 |
It looks like he's trying to use the myIdRef="28" in the second String tag to reference the contents of the first string tag which has a myId="28" attribute value. (i.e.: turning a reference in the input xml into the contents of the reference in the output xml) I'd think a template that took in the myIdRef attribute's value as a parameter and selected the String tag with the same value in the myId attribute and returned the contents would do the trick. Unfortunately, I'm enough of a newbie myself, that attempting to provide an example would just serve to embarass me. - Theo -----Original Message----- From: Michael Kay [mailto:michael.h.kay@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2002 1:25 PM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [xsl] Novice question: selecting an element based on an attribute id > I'm an novice user of XSLT but was tasked to transform an > incoming XML file into another format.

Could you explain more clearly the relationship of your output to your input?
