Hi All,

Im working for a XML files comparison report, generated in html. I get the output as same, different and new. i could get the line number of comparison using saxon:line-number, but I need to give this number as href in html and while this link is clicked in html report, then the actual line of error should be opened in xml. this is what im trying. i wrote a code but it does not go to the correct line but it just opens the xml file. can anyone help me please.

see the snippet below for "same":

    <xsl:template mode="src1" match="TL1Commands">
        <xsl:param name="tl1i"></xsl:param>
        <xsl:param name="tl1cs"></xsl:param>

        <xsl:variable name="tl1c" select="@cmdType"></xsl:variable>

        <td><xsl:value-of select="$tl1c"/></td>
        <td><xsl:value-of select="$tl1i"/></td>
        <td>
            <xsl:choose>
                <xsl:when
                    test="$docB//TL1CommandSection[./Head=$tl1cs]//table[@tabType='TL1CmdImplementation']//tbody/row[.//TL1Commands=$tl1c]">
                    <xsl:choose>
                        <xsl:when
                            test="$docB//TL1CommandSection[./Head=$tl1cs]//table[@tabType='TL1CmdImplementation']//tbody/row[.//TL1Commands=$tl1c][.//TL1Instance=$tl1i]">
                            <a><xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of select="concat(document-uri($docA), '#', saxon:line-number())"></xsl:value-of></xsl:attribute>Same</a>
                         </xsl:when>
                        <xsl:otherwise>
                            <span class="diff">
                            <xsl:text>Different</xsl:text></span>
                         </xsl:otherwise>
                    </xsl:choose>
                </xsl:when>
                <xsl:otherwise>
                    <span class="diff">
                <xsl:text>New</xsl:text></span>
                </xsl:otherwise>
            </xsl:choose>
        </td>
        <td>
            <xsl:choose>
                <xsl:when
                    test="$docB//TL1CommandSection[./Head=$tl1cs]//table[@tabType='TL1CmdImplementation']//tbody/row[.//TL1Commands=$tl1c]">
                    <xsl:choose>
                        <xsl:when
                            test="$docB//TL1CommandSection[./Head=$tl1cs]//table[@tabType='TL1CmdImplementation']//tbody/row[.//TL1Commands=$tl1c][.//TL1Instance=$tl1i]">
                            <span class="same">"<xsl:value-of select="$tl1c"/>"</span> is present with Same instance

                        </xsl:when>
                        <xsl:otherwise>
                            <span class="diff">
                                "<xsl:value-of select="$tl1c"/>" is present with Different instance</span>

                        </xsl:otherwise>
                    </xsl:choose>
                </xsl:when>
                <xsl:otherwise>
                    <span class="diff">
                        "<xsl:value-of select="$tl1c"/>" is totally New here</span>

                </xsl:otherwise>
            </xsl:choose>
        </td>
    </xsl:template>

So you are trying to generate a link with the line number specified as an anchor (e.g. doc.xml#42). I don't know if any browsers recognize that and scroll to that line. With HTML and XML I think you can specify the id of an element as an anchor (doc.xml#elementId) and the browser is supposed to scroll to that element. But unless your XML has attributes of type ID I don't think that helps.

I am not sure there is a solution, unless you find a browser that interprets the anchor as a line number.

I don't think that browsers will recognize a line number as a fragment identifier in an XML URI. I'm not sure they even reliably recognize an ID attribute. I suspect that to do this you'll have to write the code that renders the XML as HTML (that is, serializing <x>123</x> as &lt;x>123&lt;/x>) yourself, inserting HTML anchors in the relevant places to reflect the line numbering.
