Re: [xsl] Dynamic Menu Using XSL

Micheal,
   I already know how I would like the HTML to look.  The XSLT is
currently applying the HTML format I would like to have.  I would like to
however construct the HTML via the XSLT depending on the page selected.
Example of Home being selected

<ul>
<li class="selected"><a
href="default.aspx">Home</a></li>
<li><a
href="training.aspx">Training</a></li>
<li><a href="othertraining.aspx">Other
Training</a></li>
<li><a href="aboutus.aspx">About Us</a></li>
</ul>

Example
of Training being selected

<ul>

<li><a href="default.aspx">Home</a></li>
<li class="selected"><a href="training.aspx">Training</a>
    <ul>
<li><a href="#">Search Training</a></li>
       <li><a href="#">Post
Training</a></li>
    </ul>
</li>

<li><a href="othertraining.aspx">Other
Training</a></li>

<li><a href="aboutus.aspx">About Us</a></li>

</ul>
Example of sub page of Training being selected



<ul>


<li><a
href="default.aspx">Home</a></li>


<li><a href="training.aspx">Training</a>
<ul>

        
<li class="selected"><a href="#">Search Training</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Post Training</a></li>

    </ul>

</li>


<li><a
href="othertraining.aspx">Other Training</a></li>


<li><a
href="aboutus.aspx">About Us</a></li>


</ul>

I would like to use the url as
the parameter that defines what page is picked.

Thanks
Brant

Remember that XSLT is used to
generate the target HTML page, and if you want
any interaction on that page,
e.g. hiding things when other things are
selected, that's purely a question of
generating the HTML that exhibits that
behaviour.

So it's a two-stage
process:

(a) design the (dynamic) HTML that you want to display 

(b) design
the XSLT that generates it from your source XML.

I get the impression you
haven't separated the two stages. It's a good idea
not to start on (b) until
you have completed (a).
