Data from specific nodes.

pushkar_joshi · August 18th, 2010, 09:38 AM

If I want to select only data from 2 nodes to be displayed, can I add logical operators to match?

XSLT File:(an ex)

Code:

<xsl:template match ="Order/*">
<xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>

XML data:

Code:

<Order>
<DateTime>08/11/10 23:59:07.032</DateTime>
<Type>Sedan</Type>
<Color>green</Color>
</Order>



I want to get data values of type and color only . How can this be done?

Thanks.

There are two ways.

Either in the parent template select only those items you do want to output, or in the child templates write templates to cover those you don't want to output.

Code:

<xsl:template match="Order">
   <xsl:apply-templates select="Type | Color"/>
</xsl:template>

or

Code:

<xsl:template match="Order">
   <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match ="Order/*[self::Type | self::Color]" priority="2">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match ="Order/*">
<!-- For all others do nothing -->
</xsl:template>
