chris wigginsSubject: Two styles one xslt file

Hi,

I'm an IT student using xslt for the first time and struggling with this problem...

I need to apply a different style for printing and for screen viewing. I have previously done this in css using the @media screen attribute.

Can it be done in xslt?

I'm aware that when: and choose: may be the answer but have no idea how the media type is recognised.

Please help!

Chris

Hi Chris,


XSLT is a transformation language and the result is always a text stream.

Assuming your are try to generate HTML. you could define a global parameter and conditionalize the HTML based on the parameter value

see how to use parameters in XSLT here

Hope this Helps

OK, I understand that I need to define a parameter, however I don't understand how this relates to the media used, i.e. css uses media@.

You'll have to excuse me, I'm very new to this.

If I define a parameter called mode, how does the xslt code recognise whether the parameter 'mode' is screen or print media?

I think the rest of the code I need is as follows:

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$mode = 'print'">

<!-- print formatting here! -->

</xsl:when>
<xsltherwise>

<!-- screen formatting here -->

</xsltherwise>
</xsl:choose>


Thanks for the help,

Chris
