Good day, i making changes in an xslt file.

I have a dropdown on my aspx page with values "Yes & No"
I need to get the selected value to set a var.

I cant seem to get it going, I can return the "Value" but it does give me the selected value
it returns "Yes/No"
Below is what i tried & what i got returned, please help

Code:

<xsl:value-of select="Value" />  =   "Yes/No"
<xsl:value-of select="@Name" /> = nothing
<xsl:value-of select="Description" /> = "Description"
<xsl:value-of select="@selectedOption" /> = nothing
<xsl:value-of select="selectedOption" disable-output-escaping="yes" /> = nothing
<xsl:value-of select="selected" disable-output-escaping="yes" /> = nothing

Object

Code:

<xsl:templatename="ListValueType">
<xsl:paramname="Name" />
<xsl:paramname="Attributes" />
<xsl:paramname="Options" />
<xsl:paramname="Value" />
<xsl:elementname="asp:dropdownlist">
<xsl:attributename='id'><xsl:value-ofselect='$Name' /></xsl:attribute> 
<xsl:attributename='runat'>server</xsl:attribute> 
<xsl:for-eachselect="$Attributes/Attribute">
<xsl:attributename='{@name}'><xsl:value-ofselect='.' /></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:for-eachselect='$Value/Options/Option'>
<xsl:elementname="asp:ListItem">
<xsl:attributename='Value'><xsl:value-ofselect='.' /></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:iftest="@selected[. = 'true']"><xsl:attributename='selected'>true</xsl:attribute></xsl:if>
<xsl:value-ofselect='.' />
</xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

I dont understand, in the aspx page i can test for the value beinvg Yes or No

With the value being "Yes" this is the output:

Code:

     <select name="VE1060NewSupplier" id="VE1060NewSupplier">
 <option selected="selected" value=""></option>
 <option value="Yes">Yes</option>
 <option value="No">No</option>
</select>

XSLT takes some input, usually in the form of an XML document, and produces some output in the form of XML or HTML or plain text.
If you show us the XML input you have and then show the corresponding output you want to create then we can help write the XSLT code to achieve that.
If you have some XSLT code that is not doing what you want you can also post the input you have, the output you want, the output you get, and the XSLT code you have, but you need to post minimal but complete samples that allow us to reproduce the problem.

I am afraid so far I can't tell what exactly it is that you want to achieve with XSLT and what problem exactly you face. And you don't make it easy to understand your problem and your code if you don't post readable and usable code: in your XSLT sample there are a lot of spaces missing that make it very hard to read it and make it impossible to use and test the code without heavily editing it first.

Thank You

Unfortunately I'm really new to this, All i know is that the aspx page loads the xslt stylesheet & i'm trying to make changes in the xslt file.

I searched on the site (server) & can't find the xml files.

I don't think you should be making any changes to an existing application if you have so little understanding of how it works.

We can't tell you how it works: we don't know.
