Hi,

I am new to XSL as well as to this forum. This is my first post. I have a code to transform RDF data to HTML. The problem is that in my code I wants to create 2 select boxes but it creates only one. Below is the code chunk. can you please tell me where am I wrong ?

<xsl:when test="rdf:Description/si:outlink">
<form id="p" name="f1" action="search" onsubmit="showlinkdetails()">
    <input type="hidden" name="query">
    <xsl:attribute name="value">
        <xsl:value-of select="rdf:Description/si:query" />
    </xsl:attribute>
    </input>
    <select name="out">
    <xsl:for-each select="rdf:Description/si:outlink">
        <option>
            <xsl:value-of select="@rdf:resource" />
        </option>
    </xsl:for-each>
    </select>
<xsl:if test="rdf:Description/si:inlink">
    <select name="in">
    <xsl:for-each select="rdf:Description/si:inlink">
        <option>
              <xsl:value-of select="@rdf:resource" />
          </option>
  </xsl:for-each>
  </select>
</xsl:if>
<input type="submit" value="Refine Search" />
</form>
</xsl:when>

Thanks a lot.

Can't see anything obviously wrong, but you haven't shown your input. It's also useful to show desired output and actual output.

One little tip, the construct:

<input type="hidden" name="query">
    <xsl:attribute name="value">
        <xsl:value-of select="rdf:Description/si:query" />
    </xsl:attribute>
    </input>

can be simplified to

<input type="hidden" name="query"
      value="{rdf:Description/si:query}" />

It's called an attribute value template.

Thanks a lot Michael

my input and output is as follows:

input


<rdf:Description rdf:nodeID="adsd">
<si:query><![CDATA[?s <http://mitsmit.rdf.in/2007/01/ind#kw> "rudi studer".]]></si:query>

<si:outlink rdf:resource="http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/knows"/>
<si:outlink rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#seeAlso"/>
<si:outlink rdf:resource="http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/phone"/>
<si:outlink rdf:resource="http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/homepage"/>
<si:inlink rdf:resource="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/creator"/>
<si:inlink rdf:resource="http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/knows"/>
</rdf:Description>

and the ouput is :

1 select box with outlinks only. It is not creating the second select box with all inlinks.

Thanks once again

I don't think you have shown me the whole input document or the whole stylesheet - for example, the namespace declarations are missing. I can't see anything wrong in what you have shown me, so I have to conclude the problem is in what you have left out.

Also, it's helpful to describe the desired and actual output in terms of HTML source, not appearance on the browser screen. That eliminates one possible source of problems.

I can't see anything wrong with your code. Please post a complete source document and stylesheet, and show the output you are getting; and tell us what XSLT processor you are using.
