Joshua HuntSubject: Using a parameter (or similar) in a SELECT
Author: Joshua Hunt
Date: 08 Sep 2009 08:08 AM
Hi,

I have a file that is basically:

<Row>
<Header1>aa</Header1>
<Header2>ab</Header2>
<Header3>ac</Header3>
</Row>
<Row>
<Header1>aa</Header1>
<Header1>ba</Header1>
</Row>

I have a need to select every second element within a <Row> until there are none left and then move on to the next <Row>.

I am using a template to increment a value that is passed into a SELECT, but there does not seem to be a way to pass a changeable value (that represents a Node) into a SELECT. Does anyone have any ideas? Here is my cutdown stylesheet:

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="//row">
<xsl:call-template name="Detail">
<xsl:with-param name="value">2</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="Body">
<xsl:value-of select="Heading1/text()"/>
<xsl:text>,</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="Detail">
<xsl:param name="name" select="'Heading'"/>
<xsl:param name="value"/>
<xsl:param name="heading" select=" concat($name,$value)"/>

<xsl:value-of select="$heading"/> <!-- An IF statement would be better, but can't seem to pass in a Node using parameter value for this either -->
<xsl:call-template name="Body"/>
<xsl:with-param name="value" select="$value + 2"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Hi all,

I managed to find the answer on the net, so for completeness I am using:

<xsl:for-each select="*[local-name()=$heading]">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>

Assuming anyone understood my original question above, as I don't on reading it again :).

Here is a link to the post that I used: http://forums.tizag.com/showthread.php?t=9289
