How do I check height and weight

winkimjr2 · August 20th, 2014, 10:37 AM

I am wondering how to change my xslt code so that it checks if height and weight. I want to check if the weight is less than 50 pounds or greater than 499 pounds then this will not be displayed in the output.
And for the height I want to check if height is less than 48 inches or greater than 95 inches then this will not be displayed in the output.
Weight xslt code

Code:

<xsl:if test="WeightPounds">
		<nc:PersonWeightMeasure>
		    <nc:MeasureText>
		       <xsl:choose>
			<xsl:when test="WeightPounds">
			   <xsl:value-of select="WeightPounds"/>
			</xsl:when>
			</xsl:choose>
		</nc:MeasureText>

XSLT code for Height

Code:

<xsl:if test="HeightFeet">
		<nc:PersonHeightMeasure>
		   <nc:MeasureText>
			<xsl:choose>
		           <xsl:when test="HeightFeet">
				<xsl:value-of select="(HeightFeet*12)+HeightInches"/>
				</xsl:when>
			</xsl:choose>
			   </nc:MeasureText>
				<nc:MeasureUnitText>
			           <xsl:text>inches</xsl:text>
			  </nc:MeasureUnitText>
					<nc:LengthUnitCode>
						<xsl:text>INH</xsl:text>
					</nc:LengthUnitCode>
				</nc:PersonHeightMeasure>
			</xsl:if>

Did you know that your code

Code:

                        <xsl:choose>
			<xsl:when test="WeightPounds">
			   <xsl:value-of select="WeightPounds"/>
			</xsl:when>
			</xsl:choose>

could simply be written

Code:

<xsl:value-of select="WeightPounds"/>

since if WeightPounds is absent, nothing will be displayed by xsl:value-of? XSLT doesn't need to be as verbose as some people think.

If you only want it displayed if a condition is satisfied, just add the condition:

Code:

<xsl:value-of select="WeightPounds[. &gt;= 50 and . &lt;= 499]"/>

That was awesome. I am new to this xml/xslt and I am finding different/better ways of writing code everyday. Your reply was in particular very helpful.
