Hide/show rows in a table

smi13y · December 27th, 2006, 02:16 PM

Hi all.I have xml file: http://phpfi.com/188452 and report.xsl that is used to show xml file in browser: http://phpfi.com/188453. In xml file there is a table with one main task and two subtasks. How can i make that if you click on main task name you can colapse/expand subtasks below?

Any idea is welcome...

I think you are asking an HTML question rather than an XSLT question. Do you know how to write a dynamic HTML page that achieves this effect? (the usual way is for the onClick method to toggle the CSS class of the relevant elements to switch them from visible to hidden). If you do, then you can write an XSLT transformation that produces this HTML page as output. If you don't, then you need to ask on an HTML forum, not here. Never try to write an XSLT stylesheet, or a program in any other language, until you know what output you want it to produce - in this case, the output is an HTML page.

This is what i want to produce: http://www.ekcsoft.com/coding/js_hideexample.php. I can use the javascript form there but i don't know how to implement it in xsl stylesheet. I don't think this is html question because i know how to produce this using html but i don't know how to make this using xsl.

Thank you for your response.

Which part of the HTML are you finding it difficult to generate, and why?

Well, i don't know how to implement that javascript in xsl and make it work. I'm a c++ programmer and i need this just for reporting some data in browser, that is all. For more info check :http://timesaver.sourceforge.net/

It would be great if you could just help me make that script work on my table, because i don't have time to learn all about xsl...

Sorry, but if you don't have time to learn from me, then I certainly don't have time to teach you.
