 Hi All,
I would like to extract only the content of the following mixed XML document converted from XHTML format:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <!DOCTYPE html (View Source for full doctype...)> - <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> - <head> - <body ....... - ><div id="container"> + <div id="header"> <div id="postmark" /> - <div id="content"> + <div id="as1"> ....... <h1>Employee Detail</h1> - <p> <strong>Firstname:</strong> <a >John</a> </p> - <p> <strong>Surname:</strong> <a >Smith</a> </p> - <p> <strong>Date of birth:</strong> 12/01/1932 </p> - <p> <strong>Sex:</strong> M </p> - <p> <strong>Interest:</strong> <br /> Tennis <br /> Movie <br /> .....
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:ns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" exclude-result-prefixes="ns"> <xsl:template match="/"> <area> <xsl:if test="/ns:html/ns:body/ns:div[@id='content']/ns:p/ns:strong"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="contains(.,'Firstname:')"> <firstname><xsl:value-of select="."/></firstname> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <firstname>Unknown</firstname> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:if> </area> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>
Not only did XSLT returned all the correct employee data but also included a lot of irrelvant data from the parental nodes as well. In other word, it return the contents from ns:html, ns:body, ns:div[@id='content'], ns:p, ns:strong which I don't want. Is there a way to prevent (exclude/mask) all these ancestral data from being included and only pick up the data in /ns:html/ns:body/ns:div[@id='content']/ns:p/ns:strong cleanly?
