Retrieve value problem

[Hong Gia Dinh <hg...@sdcgrp.com>]

Hi all

I got the problem like this:

i have a xsp file having the element : <name_value>John Smith</name_value>
and a xsl file having a form with the input something like this?

<form . . .>
	<input type="text" name="name" value="xxx">

now i want to put the value of the element <name_value> into the value of
the input!!
how???

i tried value="{name_value}"
but it doesn't display anything in the form! 

i use <xsl:value-of select="name_value"/> in the outside of the input i can
print out Jonh Smith

but i cant put the tag <xsl:value-of select="name_value"/> into the
value="<.>" due to '<' and '>' problem! so do you know how to deal with
this??

Thanks very mmuch in your help

Hello Gia Dinh,

it's an XSL problem, so maybe the Mulberry XSL list is a more 
appropriate forum for such questions: 
http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/.

I can only guess what your problem is, because you show to less code. 
value="{name_value}" is ok in general. If <xsl:value-of 
select="name_value"/> works on another place, it shell be a matching 
problem. I guess you don't use both code snippets in the same template 
or for-each loop.
To use <xsl:value-of select="name_value"/> in attributes you can write 
it in the following way:

<input type="text">
   <xsl:attribute name="value">
     <xsl:value-of select="name_value"/>
   </xsl:attribute>
</input>

But this is only a long form of the Attribtue Value Template you already 
use. And if the one does not work, the other one shell also not work.

For more help, you need to show more of your code.

Regards,

Joerg
