Re: [xsl] Need Help

[Brant Schroeder <brantschr@xxxxxxxxx>]

Charles,
   this is one of my problems.  I don't know how to distinguish if a
node is selected or not.  I could generate a parameter on the ASPX page but I
don't know how to get it into the XSLT.  I have been playing around with this
for several days and I am totally stumped so if anyone has any ideas please
let me know.  Also are there any really good books on XSLT that you might
recommend? 
Thanks
Brant

That's not unusual when
learning something new.

Yes.

There is nothing, so far as I can see, in your XML that gives a clue as to
whether or not a node is selected. If you can tell us how to distinguish the
selected nodes from the nodes that are not selected, someone will surely
explain how to make two templates that match the "item" element, one that adds
the "class" attribute for selected nodes, and one that does not.

> And can I
hide child nodes if the p=arent node is not selected?

See answer above.

This is almost certainly irrelevant to
the XSLT transformation. You can use Microsoft's own XSLT transformer, or you
could use Saxon.NET, and probably several others as well.

Generally speaking,
you seem to have several distinct concerns entwined in your thinking. This is
not unusual when a person is new to a body of knowledge. Start by explaining
how you can tell which nodes are selected and which are not.

I am
trying to create a 3 tier menu using xml and xslt.  I am very new to t=his and
am having a lot of trouble.
Here is my XML:
<?xml version "1.0" encoding
"UTF-8" ?>
<menu>   
<item url="#" title="Home"></item>   
<item url="#"
title="My Stuff">      
  <item url="#" title="Backgrounds"></item>
<item url="#" title="Flyers" ></i=tem>
        <item url="#" title="Posters"
></item>
</item>   
<item url=="#" title="Portfolio">      
  <item url="#"
title="Backgrounds" ></i=tem>      
  <item url="#" title="Flyers" ></item>
<item url="#" title="Posters" ></item>      
  <item url="#" title="More
Information"> 
   <item url="#" title="Resume"></item>         
   <item
url="#" tit=le="Contact Me"></item>      
  </item>   
</item>
</menu>
I want
to transform it to this
<ul>   
<li><a href="#">Home</li>   
<li><a
href="#">My Stuff      
  <ul>           
       <li><a
href="#">Backgrounds</li>              
       <li><a href="#">Flyers</li>
<li><a href="#">Posters</li>      
  </ul>   
</li>   
<li><a
href="#">Portfolio      
  <ul>           
       <li><a
href="#">Backgrounds</li>           
       <li><a href="#">Flyers</li>
<li><a href="#">Posters</li>           
       <li><a href="#">More
Information               
   <ul>
    <li><a href="#">Resume</li>
    <li><a
href="#">Contact Me</li>               
   </ul>           
       </li>
</ul>   
</li>
</ul>
Is this possible?  Also I would like to apply CSS Classes
to certain nodes depending if they are selected or not.  And can I hide child
nodes if the p=arent node is not selected? Any help would be appreciated.  I
am using ASP.Net 2.0 to do this and it is for site I would like to use to
display my school work and resume.  If it can't be done that is fine I wanted
a dynamic menu using XML.
Thanks
Brant
