Hi. New to the board. I have a problem. I wrote a nice little CSS nav a while back and want to integrate it with Umbraco Open Source CMS (http//www.umbraco.org). First off, I want to apologize in advance, I have very little XSLT experience. That said, I was able to get the top
level nav working using an example I found.

So, here is an example of what I got the XSLT to display:
----------------------------------------------------
<DIV ID="topNav" CLASS="navBar">
    <DIV CLASS="collapsed">
       <DIV CLASS="navItem" onclick="goTo('1.html');">Level 1</DIV>
    </DIV>
</DIV>
----------------------------------------------------

So, here is what I need the XSLT to display (only if a child exists,
of course):
----------------------------------------------------
<DIV ID="topNav" CLASS="navBar">
    <DIV CLASS="collapsed">
    <DIV CLASS="navItem" onclick="goTo('1.aspx');">LEVEL 1</DIV>

        <DIV CLASS="dropContainer">
           <DIV CLASS="dropMenu">
              <DIV CLASS="dropItem"><A HREF="2.aspx">LEVEL 2</A></DIV>
           </DIV>
        </DIV>

    </DIV>
</DIV>
----------------------------------------------------

Here is my XSLT file.
----------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:Stylesheet [ <!ENTITY nbsp "#x00A0;"> ]>
<xsl:stylesheet
     version="1.0"
     xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
     xmlns:msxml="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
     xmlns:umbraco.library="urn:umbraco.library"
     exclude-result-prefixes="msxml umbraco.library">
<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes" />
<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>

<xsl:variable name="level" select="1"/>

<xsl:template match="/">

<div id="topNav" class="navBar">
<xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node
[@level=$level]/node [string(data [@alias='umbracoNaviHide']) != '1']">
<div class="collapsed">
<div class="navItem" onclick="goTo('{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}');">
<xsl:if test="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node/@id =
current()/@id"></xsl:if>
<xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
</div>
</div>
</xsl:for-each>
</div>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
----------------------------------------------------

So, if I change the "1" values in this file to "2" it will
display the second level nav - I guess for a seperate nav somewhere
else on a page. What I need to do is display 1 and 2 using the same
XSLT file. As well as format the 2nd level to display like example above.

Any help would be huge! If anyone can help me get this working - I'll
send to the Umbraco folks - in case they want to make it available for
download or whatever. HUGE thanks in advance!

Without knowing anything about your source document (or the content of the $currentPage parameter) it's not easy to offer you any useful advice.

Thanks! See, I told you I didn't know much about this stuff. :) Hey, is this the file?

Just as well I've got Stylus Studio installed, when you have to look at horrible XML like this!

Presumably - I'm guessing - the $currentPage parameter is a "node" element? (You really should document your parameters!)

But sorry: this question doesn't pass the two-minute test. If after two minutes I can't understand what problem you're having, I give up. Read the book, and tell me which bit you don't understand.

Hi jmcarth

Umbraco is kind of hard to get started with.
Try to look at this page http://packages.maliciousthinktank.com/navdemo.aspx
There is an example shown that accomplishes what you want. The code is also explained.

cheers
