for-each on result tree fragment

RoeZ · November 22nd, 2007, 03:55 AM

I have this

Code:

<xsl:call-template name="select">
<xsl:with-param name="options">
<option><name>1</name><value>test1</value></option>
<option><name>2</name><value>test2</value></option>
</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>

i my select template i have:

Code:

<xsl:param name="options" />
<xsl:for-each select="exslt:node-set($options)/node()">

My question: how do i get the nodes called 'name' and 'value' in my for-each

joefawcett · November 22nd, 2007, 04:37 AM

Code:

<xsl:template name="select">
    <xsl:param name="options" />
    <xsl:for-each select="exslt:node-set($options)/node()">
      <xsl:copy-of select="name"/>
      <xsl:copy-of select="value"/>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:template>

But I would use

Code:

exslt:node-set($options)/option">

or

Code:

exslt:node-set($options)/*">

in preference to node() as node() can pick up text nodes.
Alternatively embed the options into the stylesheet under the root element:

Code:

<my:options><option><name>1</name><value>test1</value></option>
<option><name>2</name><value>test2</value></option><my:options>

Then you can select them using

Code:

document('')/*/my:options/option

and dispense with exslt:node-set altogether. Or move to XSLT 2.0 :)

Try

<xsl:for-each select="exslt:node-set($options)/option">
<xx><xsl:value-of select="name"/></xx>
<yy><xsl:value-of select="value"/></yy>
</xsl:for-each>

If i use /* instead of /node() how can i call the 'value' and the 'name' in the for-each then? i have tried to use

Code:

<xsl:value-of select="name"/>

but that won't work

I tried michaels code but also no succes, this is what i get.
When i use exslt:node-set($options)/option i get 0 options in my selectlist, when i use exslt:node-set($options)/* or /node() i get the right amount of options, but no values / names.

Can you show a failing example, it works fine with:

Code:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt" exclude-result-prefixes="msxsl">
  <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <data>
      <xsl:call-template name="select">
        <xsl:with-param name="options">
          <option>
            <name>1</name>
            <value>test1</value>
          </option>
          <option>
            <name>2</name>
            <value>test2</value>
          </option>
        </xsl:with-param>
      </xsl:call-template>
    </data>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template name="select">
    <xsl:param name="options" />
    <xsl:for-each select="msxsl:node-set($options)/*">
      <xsl:copy-of select="name"/>
      <xsl:copy-of select="value"/>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:template>

(I'm using the XslCompiledTransform in .NET)

I really don't understand what i am doing wrong, i get the right amount of options in the optionlist but copy-of select="name" is empty and also copy-of select="value" is empty. nor value-of or copy-of seems to work here. Btw i am using php5 with the built in xslt processor (i believe it s sablotron)

i now tried joe's example, i copied it EXACTLY, all i did different was instead of msxsl i used exslt in front of my node-set function, still same results, the right amount of options, no names / values visible

As I wrote earlier, post the stylesheet you are using.

my result is :

The good old default namespace strikes again.

Code:

<xsl:stylesheet    version="1.0" xmlns:x="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"   xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"    xmlns:exslt="http://exslt.org/common"  extension-element-prefixes="exslt">

  <xsl:output    indent="yes"    method="xml"    encoding="UTF-8"    omit-xml-declaration="yes"    doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"    doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"/>

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <html>
      <head>
        <title>                test            </title>
      </head>
      <body>
        <xsl:call-template name="select">
          <xsl:with-param name="options">
            <option>
              <name>1</name>
              <value>test1</value>
            </option>
            <option>
              <name>2</name>
              <value>test2</value>
            </option>
          </xsl:with-param>
        </xsl:call-template>
      </body>
    </html>
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template name="select">
    <xsl:param name="options" />
    <xsl:for-each select="exslt:node-set($options)/*">
      <p>
        <xsl:copy-of select="x:name"/>
      </p>
      <b>
        <xsl:copy-of select="x:value"/>
      </b>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

See first post in this forum category for more information on default namespaces if you need it.

I think you also want

Code:

exclude-result-prefixes="exslt"

rather than

Code:

extension-element-prefixes="exslt"
