xsl and variable
Hi,
I've been using before LotusXSL to process some
XML documents with a XSL one. In order to do so
I needed some flags to indicate me modifications
that I did.
So I used <xsl:variable> by setting a variable to
a value (0 for example) and then I was setting it
to another value (1 for example) when I had to do
some modifications.
Now my problem is that using latest Xalan version,
this no more works and I've checked that this should
have never work since xsl:variable are in fact
constants. So now how can I do the same thing as
before since I need a true variable ?
Thanks in advance,
Stephane DUBON
Following is my previous xsl code :
<xsl:variable name="flag34" select="0"/>
<xsl:for-each select="value">
<xsl:variable name="product-value"
select="normalize-space(.)"/>
<!-- apply policy-rule34 -->
<xsl:if test="$product-value!='EMMENTHAL'">
<xsl:variable name="flag34" select="1"/>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="$product-value='EMMENTHAL'">
<xsl:variable name="flag34" select="1"/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
<!-- apply policy-rule34 -->
<xsl:if test="$flag34='1'">
Things to write when there is not
product-value
including EMMENTHAL
</xsl:if>

Try something like:
<xsl:variable name="flag34">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$product-value!='EMMENTHAL'">1</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>0</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>

This sort of question (XSLT related, not Xalan specific) really belongs on
mulberry tech's XSL list. I haven't seen anyone grump about this really
yet, but it probably should be mentioned given the rise in this type of
question recently.

Hey guys,
question:
when I use the name() function like this
<xsl:value-of select="name()">
I am able to extract the tag's name but what should I use to extract the data
between the tags?
Example
<sub>12345</sub>
I can get the name of this tag by
<xsl:value-of select="name()">
but If i want to retrive "12345" what should I do :
how to code a space in a XSL stylsheet
Posted by Benoit Fouche <b....@cross-systems.com>.
Hi !
Can someone told me how to code a space in a XSL stylsheet ? (to transform
XML to basic HTML...)
I tried this:
<xsl:for-each select="menu">
titre: <xsl:value-of select="@title"/>
</xsl:for-each>
but my DOM (Micro$oft parser) objet is crashing (error '80070057' wrong
parameter Default.asp, line 12 )
and that:
<xsl:for-each select="menu">
titre:& <xsl:value-of select="@title"/>
</xsl:for-each>
but it gave me that: titre: Menu1
What can I do so ?
thanks for help...
