hi, trying to generate an html form from an xml doc (happens to be a input
form for a toy finite element analysys program). i have input.xml validated
by input.xsd and transformed by input.xsl into transformedInput.html at
http://tayek.com/~ray/xml/. there is a copy of transformedInput.html at the
botttom.
since i will get back name value pairs for the fields that the user inputs
in the servlet, i need to somehow give either some of the label or input
attrubutes some values that will be unique (since there are repeating
elements). so i need to concatenate some index (number()?) to the
appropriate attributes of the label and input fields.
i suspect that these are some combination of the for and name attributes of
the label tag and/or the id and name attributes of the input tag. i am new
to html and xsl, so i am sorta confused.
i had some radio buttons, so i made them the attributes of a single
element. what this a rational thing to do or is there a better way?
my ultimate goal here is to do this sort of things with xforms, but i am
using this as a way of getting up to speed on them.
any pointers will be appreciated.
thanks
