Subject: [xsl] Use of Parameter with conditional logic - please help! From: Warren Keane <Warren@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 2 Aug 2001 12:51:58 -0700 |
Hello, I have an XML document which contains multiple news headlines. Each headline also as an associated story as in: <News> <FullStory> <BaseSymbol>SP</BaseSymbol> <HeadLines>Equity futures end firmer but again fail to maintain intraday highs</HeadLines> <Story>Equity futures ended Wednesdays session higher, but in a carbon copy of Tuesdays trade, reversed the days major gains and closed near opening levels. Futures shook off mostly weak economic data this morning, focusing instead on a research note out of Merrill Lynch, which hinted at a nadir for the semiconductor sector.</Story> </FullStory> </News> I have created an XSL doc which makes an HTML document for displaying the headlines as so: <xsl:for-each select="News/FullStory"> <LI><A> <xsl:attribute name="HREF">headline.asp?storyid=<xsl:value-of select="BaseSymbol"/> </xsl:attribute> <xsl:value-of select="HeadLines"/> </A></LI> </xsl:for-each> This works fine. I have figured out MSXML2.XSLTemplate and how to pass the BaseSymbol parameter of the headline selected to the second XSL file for displaying the full story associated (via BaseSymbol) with the headline. My problem is that I don't know how to work with the parameter. I can display it in HTML so I know the second XSL file is receiving the parameter. So far my second XSL looks like this: <xsl:param name="basesym"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <HTML> The parameter value was: <xsl:value-of select="$basesym"/> <xsl:for-each select="News/FullStory"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="[BaseSymbol=<xsl:value-of select="$comsym"/>"> <xsl:value-of select="Story"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> ...... </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:for-each> The parameter value is displayed correctly but I can't get the conditional logic to work. I have tried many things including the use of variables. I think I just need the syntax for the <xsl:choose> that can use the parameter. Any suggestions are appreciated, I have been up all night and leave for vacation today, I promised my boss this would be done. Thanks in advance. ` XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
