[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] getting node type in xsl
 Hi people,
I am currently trying to make an asp.net based xml editor using this
xslt (it's just at a very beginning)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet
version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output
method="xml"
indent="yes"
encoding="UTF-8"
omit-xml-declaration="yes" />
<xsl:template
match="/">
<html>
<head>
<title>XML Editor</title>
<style xml:space="preserve">
* {font-family: sans-serif; font-size: small}
fieldset {margin: 5px 5px 5px 30px; padding: 5px;}
</style>
</head>
<form>
<xsl:apply-templates />
</form>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template
match="node()">
<fieldset>
<legend>
<xsl:value-of
select="local-name()" />
</legend>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="@*" />
<xsl:if
test="./text()!=''">
<input
type="Text">
<xsl:attribute
name="value">
<xsl:value-of
select="./text()" />
</xsl:attribute>
</input>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="*" />
</fieldset>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template
match="@*">
<xsl:variable
name="id"
select="generate-id()" />
<div>
<label
for="{$id}">Attribute
<xsl:value-of
select="local-name()" />
</label>
<input
type="Text"
name="{$id}"
id="{$id}">
<xsl:attribute
name="value">
<xsl:value-of
select="current()" />
</xsl:attribute>
</input>
</div>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
this works as intended. Now, to provide the right controls (calendar
control for date, radio for enum...), I have two questions:
1) how can I find out about the current node's type defined in the
data document's xsd schema?
2) how can I give a node a unique id, that I can somehow reuse to
programmatically alter it's value (some serialization of the absolute
xPath using something else than the "/" and "[ ]" characters, like
"ID#animal-1#chicken-3#egg-5" for /animal[1]/chicken[3]/egg[5])?
generate-id() doesn't do this...
and there is a third! Am I reinventing the wheel for the nth time
here? I tried to google something up, but to no avail...
cheers and thanks for all the help from this great list!
