Subject: [xsl] Recursively Generating Menu and Sub-Menu items From: Rashmi Rubdi <dev_subscriptions@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2007 16:50:27 -0800 (PST) |
Hello Everyone, I'm still learning XSLT while also learning other languages so it has been a little slow for me to pick things up with each language. I did some searching on my problem, and came accross a few similar threads but the code they demostrated was rather large and contained unrelated code with it, so it was a little difficult to understand the desired solution. I want to recursively generate nested menus with XSLT with the menu structured inside an XML. I have a sample XML structure which is supposed to represent a Menu hierarchy as follows: (Please note that I'm flexible with any other XML structure that represents a nested menu, if it helps to improves the XSLT solution) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <item> <name>Main Menu</name> <item> <name>First Level Item</name> <item> <name>Second Level Item</name> <item> <name>Third Level Item</name> </item> </item> </item> <item> <name>ABC</name> <item> <name>XYZ</name> </item> <item> <name>PQR</name> </item> <item> <name>LMN</name> </item> </item> </item> The desired output is in the form of an HTML nested list as follows: <ul> <li>Main Menu <ul> <li>First Level Item <ul> <li>Second Level Item <ul> <li>Third Level Item</li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> <li>ABC <ul> <li>XYZ</li> <li>PQR</li> <li>LMN</li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> I have tried to generate the above output with the following XSLT 1.0 : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:apply-templates select="item"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="item"> <ul> <xsl:apply-templates select="name"/> </ul> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="name"> <li> <xsl:value-of select="name"/> </li> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> but the above xslt generates this ouput: <ul><li/></ul> Any help is appreciated. -Regards Rashmi _____________________________________________________________________________ _______ Need Mail bonding?
