Subject: [xsl] can't display heading in between fields...pls. help From: "John Liebermann" <ahsan_hussain@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2003 14:19:50 -0700 |
Markus, that didn't change anything for me. I already had those separations in my code inside where i match <HSDataContainerType>. Thanks for your help anyways. Atleast it narrowed down the problem in my mind. Let me explain what i would like to do since i can't attach the full XSL file. I have a few fields in with parents Inputs and Outputs. The Inputs and Outputs are of <HSDataContainerType> whereas the fields can be <HSString> or <HSDecimal> or <HSInteger> etc. First i display them is an indented form kinda like a tree. Output HTML looks like this now: ------------------------------ Inputs textField1 integerField1 DataContainer1 integerField11 decimalField11 Outputs integerField2 DataContainer2 decimalField2 .. <-----wanna display heading "Input Descriptions" here and link it up to the top 'Input' heading. textField1 Description: None <--this is where the descriptions Required: Yes start for each field in the tree up integerField1 Description: None Required: Yes DataContainer1/integerField11 Description: None Required: No DataContainer1/decimalField11 Description: None Required: No <-----wanna display heading "Output Descriptions" here and link it up to the top Output heading. integerField2 Description: None Required: No DataContainer2/decimalField2 Description: None Required: No .. -------------------------------------------------------------------- All these fields (all those with names ending in 'field') are links to their descriptions, which i display at the bottom with the field name as heading and then other info. extracted out of their attributes etc. What i would like to do is to make links out of Inputs and Outputs and then be able to link them up to headings(don't exist, would like to put) in between the descriptions at the bottom (see top output). This would clearly demark the Inputs from Outputs. So i just need one heading for 'Input Description' and one heading for 'Output Description' to show the user where they start. I was using a for-each loop inside my 'HSString' template with ancestor::* to clearly display the path to each field. This also helped me check for any fields that had a parent 'Outputs' or 'Inputs'. So i was able to demark and tell where the Inputs end and Outputs Start but the problem is being able to put a HEADING in between my descriptions. I was putting this code inside my <HSString> field: <xsl:template name="HSLinkerString" match="HSString" mode="target"> <img src="texticon.gif"><a name="{generate-id(.)}"> <b><xsl:comment>Accessing the parent nodes...</xsl:comment> <xsl:for-each select="ancestor::*"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="contains(@name, 'Inputs')"></xsl:when> <xsl:when test="contains(@name, 'Outputs') and not(ancestor::*[contains(@name,'Outputs')])"> <a name="out">Output Description</a> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="contains(@name, 'Settings')"></xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:if test="not(position()='1')"> <xsl:value-of select="@name" />/ </xsl:if> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:for-each> ... </xsl:template> The highlighted 'Output Description' above is displayed during all times where there is a <HSString> which has an ancestor 'Output'. I want this to be displayed ONLY once. So, what i can't figure out is how to be able to display a heading in between the descriptions (as marked on the output above). Thank you all for your help.
