Abhinavnaresh · February 20th, 2008, 09:45 AM

I am using XSLT transformation to display XML file in ASP.NET 2.0 and I want to make A table of content similar as in the page of following link given .
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/selector.html

My Code of xslt page is :

Code: ( text )
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" >
  <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <html>

    <body>

      <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </body>
  </html>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="TARGETCATEGORY">
      <table border="2" BorderColor="#DEBA84" height="50px" Width="436px" layout="fixed">
      <tr><td colspan="2">
         <a href="#{@Name}"><xsl:value-of select="@Name"/></a>
          <xsl:variable name="node1">
          <xsl:value-of select="@Name"/>
          </xsl:variable>
      </td></tr>
    </table>
       <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="sub" match="SUBCATEGORY">
<table border="2" BorderColor="#DEBA84" Width="436px" layout="fixed">
         <tr><td colspan="2">
              <a href="@Name" onClick="count(i=i+1); return;"><xsl:value-of select="@Name"/></a>
             <a name="Top"></a>
          </td></tr>
    </table>

      </xsl:template>
   </xsl:stylesheet>

There is the xsl:number instruction which has many uses but can be used to produce a sequential number.

<a href="{@Name}"><xsl:attribute name="onClick"><xsl:text>count(</xsl:text><xsl:number select="//SUBCATEGORY"/><xsl:text>) return;</xsl:text></xsl:attribute>

Possible solutions include

position()

<xsl:number/>

count($x/preceding::node())

The select attribute was added to xsl:number in XSLT 2.0. I suggest you don't copy Sam's code without understanding it - rather go and read the spec and see how you can use these facilities to design your own solution to your problem.
