Subject: Re: [xsl] Trouble creating a table with multiple named templates From: Max Bronsema <max.bronsema@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 3 May 2005 10:23:16 -0600 |
Hi again Jay, I hope I am not keeping you from doing your real consulting work :), thank you for the code below. It works as you said it would. I had butchered some XSL to get that same result before but ran into the problem of it not going through the entire XML tree. The same thing is happening here except your code is much much better. I am able to have it work through the tree when I just list an element by it's name and do not use XPATH. Example <td><xsl:value-of select="fName"/></td> Alas, that only works if I use an XPATH location in the match portion of the template tag. Example <template match="directory/staffOffice/Office"> Then it will iterate through the entire tree for that portion. Is this caused by having the extra node staffOffice? What is the next step I should try? Oh, and Boone as I am refering to it is a building at the location of where I work.
