Subject: [xsl] Variables and Values From: Julian Voelcker <asp@xxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2004 17:48:59 GMT |
I am trying to replicate some programming logic in my template along the following lines: 1. The XML file holds data from a questionnaire. 2. At the beginning of a template I want to test to see if a particular question has been answered - if it has it will either be true or false - if it hasn't been answered there will be no value. 3. If it hasn't been given a value, I will want to give it one. 4. Further down the template I will want to use the value to determine the formatting of content. OK, now I have been doing some reading on variables and believe the that the only way to deal with this is as follows:- 1. Check the XML file to see if the question has been answered and if is has, create a variable in the template to hold the value. 2. If the question hasn't been answered, also create the variable and give a value. 3. From then on in the document, work from the variable, not the value in the XML file. Does this make sense? Can you see any pitfalls to this? -- Cheers, Julian Voelcker United Kingdom
