Hello,
I have been following Michael Kay XSLT 2nd Edition Book and I am new to xslt and I have encountered 2 problems which I can not seem to find a solution to my problems i encountered.
1> It does not seem to display the property location extra details that corresponds to the property location.
2>tags such as prst_code which is for example would display garden but instead it displays in capitals as-â GARD â which I need to put to lowercase but then how do I get it to display the full word âgardenâ.
1> This is my xslt code -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1><xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:param name="XLlocation"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<h2>Property Results:</h2>
<xsl:for-each select="xxx_data/houses/property/address[contains(property_location,$XLlocation)]">
<table width="70%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td colspan="2" bgcolor="#CC6633" style="color:#FFFFFF" bordercolor="#000000" align="left"> <strong><xsl:value-of select="property_location"/></strong></td>
<td bgcolor="#CC6633" style="color:#FFFFFF" bordercolor="#000000"><strong>
<xsl:value-of select="//price_text"/></strong></td>
</tr>
<tr bgcolor="#E1DDE1">
<td colspan="2"><img src="{//picture1}"/></td>
<td valign="top" width="82%"><xsl:value-of select="//short_description"/></td>
</tr>
<tr bgcolor="#E1DDE1">
<td colspan="2"><a href="{//slide_show}">Slide Show</a></td>
<td height="30" valign="bottom" style="color:#000099">* <xsl:value-of select="//beds"/> Bedrooms * <xsl:value-of select="//baths"/> Bathrooms * <xsl:value-of select="//receptions"/> Receptions * <xsl:value-of select="//prag_code"/> * <xsl:value-of select="//prst_code"/> * <xsl:value-of select="//prty_code"/> * <xsl:value-of select="//prpa_code"/></td>
</tr>
<tr bgcolor="#E1DDE1">
<td colspan="2"></td>
<td height="30" valign="bottom" style="color:#000099"><a href="{//public_details_sheet}">Detail Sheet</a> | <a href="{//floorplan1}">Floor Plan</a></td>
</tr>
</table>
<br /><br />
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
1> the first property details are correct â the short-description is correct and the number of beds, receptions, and the picture is all related to the first property location. BUT the second and the rest have the correct property location text e.g. Chiswick , hammersmith etc. but the picture, short description, number of beds, receptions etc are not of that property location but are the first property location details. I can not understand why that is happening. The only thing I can think but it should not be the case is the way we are getting the details through the child node â//â ? But If I take them out then nothing appears â so maybe we will have to change something in the asp code page to be able to not display the //⦠what do you think?
2> the GARD is in capitals and short hand-written how can I change than to being lowercase and written out in the full word such as Garden
And Here is the asp code - passing the paramter...
<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="65001"%>
<%
dim strlocation
strlocation = Request.QueryString("lo")
%>
<% Response.ContentType = "text/html" %>
<%
Set xmldoc = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocumen t.3.0")
xmldoc.async = false
xmlDoc.setProperty "ServerHTTPRequest", true
xmldoc.load("http://xxx.net/xxx/xxx/xxx_search.xml?upw=1467581F8E6F42D1BF0207B0A16964D E")
Set xsldoc = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocumen t.3.0")
xsldoc.async = false
xsldoc.load("d:\inetpub\wwwroot\xxx\properties.xsl ")
Set Node = xmldoc.selectSingleNode("xxx_data/houses/property/address")
Set template=Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.XSLTemplate")
template.stylesheet=xsldoc
Set processor=template.createProcessor
processor.input = xmldoc
if strlocation <> "" then
processor.addParameter "XLlocation", "" & strLocation & ""
end if
processor.transform()
Response.write (processor.output)'(xmldoc.transformNode(xsldoc))
%>
Any help would be really appreciated - especially with the first problem.
Cheers
