HI Team,

I am trying to use the following statement to include another .xsl file called CSS.xsl in a file called view_halls.xsl.

<xsl:include href = "CSS.xsl" />

File CSS.xsl contains a typical HTML stylesheet

I cannot get it to work ! Any suggestions would be welcome.

Both files are attached ...

I *guess* what you want to do is to change view_hall.xsl into something like...

...
<xsl:include href = "CSS.xsl" />
<xsl:template match="/SERVICES">
<html>
<body>
<xsl:call-template name="defineStyles"/>
<xsl:variable name = "A" ><xsl:value-of select="ERROR"/></xsl:variable>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="starts-with($A,'Error')">
...

...and change CSS.xsl into something like...

...
<xsl:template name="defineStyles">
<style type="text/css">
<![CDATA[
...

That way your styles are defined in the right position, and you control when to call the template that takes care of that definition.

Hi There,

Thanks for your reply.

I have implemented your suggestions but I still cannot get this to work.

File view_halls.xsl now looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:include href = "CSS.xsl" />
<xsl:template name="defineStyles" />
<xsl:template match="/SERVICES" >
<html>
<body>
......
...... etc

File CSS.xsl now looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template name = "defineStyles">

<style type="text/css">
<![CDATA[

... CSS stylesheet here ...

]]>
</style>

</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

The XSLT engine complains about the use of

<xsl:template name="defineStyles" />

in file 'view_halls.xsl', since there are now 2 <xsl:template.. statements.

Any suggestions welcome,

Steven Matthews

I think this line should be

<xsl:call-template name="defineStyles" />

Hope this helps,
Alberto
