<apply-template select> causing problem

pushkar_joshi · August 17th, 2010, 08:17 AM

When I use only <xsl:apply-templates/> the template for child is invoked/applied. But if I use select with path(as in code below) the template is not invoked.
Kindly help.

The XML file is

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<OrderPrice>
  <Orderstack title="OS 1" code="OS 1" expanded="true">
    <Order title="ord1"/>
    <Order title="ord2"/>
  </Orderstack>
</OrderPrice>

Code:

<xsl:template match="/OrderPrice">
    <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
      <tr>
        <td>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="Order">
            <xsl:with-param name="depth" select="1"/>  
          </xsl:apply-templates>
        </td>
      </tr>
    </table>
  </xsl:template>


<xsl:template match ="Orderstack">
    <xsl:param name="depth"/>
    <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
      <tr>
        <!-- If first level of depth, do not shift of $param-shift-width-->
        <xsl:if test="$depth>1">
          <td width="{$param-shift-width}"/>
        </xsl:if>
        <td>
          <xsl:if test="@expanded">
            <xsl:if test="@expanded='true'">
              Minus
            </xsl:if>
            <!-- plus (+) otherwise-->
            <xsl:if test="@expanded='false'">
              Plus
            </xsl:if>
          </xsl:if>
          <xsl:if test="not(@expanded)">
            <xsl:if test="$param-deploy-treeview = 'true'">
              Minus
            </xsl:if>
            <xsl:if test="$param-deploy-treeview = 'false' or not(@expanded)">
              Plus
            </xsl:if>
          </xsl:if>
          <xsl:value-of select ="@title"/>

          <xsl:apply-templates select="OrderStack">
            <xsl:with-param name="depth" select="$depth+1"/>
          </xsl:apply-templates>
          <xsl:apply-templates select="Order"/>
          
        </td>
      </tr>
    </table>
          
  </xsl:template>

Well in your template for OrderPrice you have xsl:apply-templates select="Order" but your OrderPrice element does not have any "Order" child elements so nothing happens. I am not sure what you want to achieve, maybe you xsl:apply-templates select="Orderstack" to process that child element.

sorry the order template contains following
<xsl:template match="/OrderPrice">
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td>
<xsl:apply-templates select="Orderstack">
<xsl:with-param name="depth" select="1"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</xsl:template>

instead of the one in previous code.

If I define the two variables you have used ($param-shift-width and $param-deploy-treeview) then it outputs various bits of XML. So to say it does 'nothing' wouldn't be true.

However you don't say what you expect the output to look like so from what I can see it works fine.

Please post the complete input xml, your xslt code and the output you expect.

The xml file is the complete file with same nodes repeated as I've given. What I meant to say was when I debug the xslt through vs 2008 the control doesn't pass to template of orderstack, which tells that during execution the template is not invoked.

I do not have vs2008. So post your complete xslt code atleast. just copy the code from your xslt file and paste it here. We could give a check to that. In the below snippet

Code:

<xsl:apply-templates select="OrderStack">
            <xsl:with-param name="depth" select="$depth+1"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>

OrderStack should be Orderstack. So that way there could be a small error somewhere.
