HI,
     Am new to XSL and have been given the task to do enhancement on an existing XSL project. The issue is I have a button called County which when clicked pops out a window showing a list of countries…Now when I select a country say “AMERICA” it gets high lightened from light blue(#E7EBF6) to a dark blue(#A9C4EF'). It works fine.But now when I select the next country in the list say “EUROPE” this also gets high lightened listing its branches. Now the issue is I can’t get the previous country to return to normal i.e to light blue when “EUROPE” is selected, and on every “onClick” all the countries are high lightened, is there a way to revert back the other options to normal and high lightened the currently selected one. Before this function was working fine with “onMouseOver” and “onMouseOut” which I have changed to “onClick”.I have hereby enclosed the xsl code. When the “onMouseOut” function is replaced by “onClick” it doesn’t revert back to the normal colour.The P7_Auto layers function used in the code is to just pop-out the window.

This isn't actually a XSLT problem is it - is a javascript problem. I recommend working on the transformed file and getting them working stand alone, then putting the changes back into the XSLT.

You might have to look at storing the last country clicked when you and then resetting it manually.

Thank you for your suggestion will definetly try.

If you know what HTML you want to generate, then it should be easy to write the XSLT code to produce it. If you don't know what HTML you want to generate, then you have an HTML problem and not an XSLT problem.
