set image size from attribute

bonekrusher · August 6th, 2006, 06:27 PM

Hi All,

I am trying to set the size of an image for output in XSLT based on the attribute @height and @width. I want whom every is authoring the XML file to input the sizes. I am not sure how to do it.

Code:

Element
JBU:graphic
@href
@height
@width

Code:

    <xsl:template match="JBU:graphic">
        <xsl:if test="not(preceding-sibling::JBU:graphic)">
            <xsl:for-each select="..">
                <center>
                    <xsl:for-each select="JBU:graphic">
                        <xsl:for-each select="@href">
                            <img border="0" width='@width' height='@height'>
                                <xsl:attribute name="src"><xsl:if test="substring(string(.), 2, 1) = ':'"><xsl:text>file:///</xsl:text></xsl:if><xsl:value-of select="translate(string(.), '#x5c;', '/')"/></xsl:attribute>
                            </img>
                        </xsl:for-each>
                    </xsl:for-each>
                </center>
            </xsl:for-each>
        </xsl:if>
    </xsl:template>

Thanks for the help,

Bones

Try width='{@width}' height='{@height}'

Thank you Michael, but it returns the following line in HTML:

Code:

<center><img border="0" width="" height="" src="Chart1.gif"></center>

I'll keep working at it.

In that case you' need to show the source document. Your template seems quite odd. You match JBU:graphic. You then for-each against its parent and then for-each against the JBU:graphic.

Hi Joe,

Thank you for the reply. I am learning XSLT, which can explain why my template is odd.
Any suggestions?

How do I reference the source document?

Regards,

Bones

You need to post the actual XML.

Hi Joe,

Here is the XML Reference:

Code:

<graphic href="Chart1.gif" width="100" height"100"/>

The href, height and width are attributes of <graphic>. I want the author to be able to set the image size.

Thanks!

Can you show the whole XML?
With what you've given, assuming a default namespace is declared somewhere, Michael's suggestion should work.

Hi Joe,

here is the XML file:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Book xmlns="www.jb.com" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="www.jb.com
C:\DOCUME~1\MYDOCU~1\Sharing\old\JBLUMOMgraphic.xsd">
    <Chapter>
        <Title>Chapter 1</Title>
        <Sec1>
            <Para>
                <graphic width="40" height="40" href="Chart.gif"/>
            </Para>
        </Sec1>
    </Chapter>
    <booktitle/>
</Book>

Writing <xsl:for-each select="@href"> changes the context node to be the href attribute, the href attribute does not have a width or height attribute so they aren't picked up.
