passing values through url

Here's the xslt file that has the url:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"

<xsl:import href="cascademenu_member.xsl"/>

Hi Jen,

xsl:output method should be either "text", "xml" or "html". Saxon refuses method="text/html", but with method="html" (and without the imports) produces the desired result. I think Werner is right, maybe you're changing the context somewhere, and using "/ROOT" might fix it. But...

<div align="center">
	<xsl:for-each select="ROOT">
		<xsl:variable name="age1">
			<xsl:value-of select="AGE1"/>
		</xsl:variable>
		THIS IS AGE1:<xsl:value-of select="$age1"/>
		<xsl:variable name="age2">
			<xsl:value-of select="AGE2"/>
		</xsl:variable>
		<xsl:variable name="age3">
			<xsl:value-of select="AGE3"/>
		</xsl:variable>
		<xsl:variable name="age4">
			<xsl:value-of select="AGE4"/>
		</xsl:variable>
		<xsl:variable name="age5">
			<xsl:value-of select="AGE5"/>
		</xsl:variable>
		<xsl:variable name="age6">
			<xsl:value-of select="AGE6"/>
		</xsl:variable>
		<xsl:variable name="age7">
			<xsl:value-of select="AGE7"/>
		</xsl:variable>
		<xsl:variable name="age8">
			<xsl:value-of select="AGE8"/>
		</xsl:variable>
		<xsl:element name='img'>
			<xsl:attribute name='src'>
				<xsl:text>./php/chart_age.php?age1=</xsl:text>
				<xsl:value-of select='$age1'/>
				<xsl:text>&amp;age2=</xsl:text>
				<xsl:value-of select='$age2'/>
				<xsl:text>&amp;age3=</xsl:text>
				<xsl:value-of select='$age3'/>
				<xsl:text>&amp;age4=</xsl:text>
				<xsl:value-of select='$age4'/>
				<xsl:text>&amp;age5=</xsl:text>
				<xsl:value-of select='$age5'/>
				<xsl:text>&amp;age6=</xsl:text>
				<xsl:value-of select='$age6'/>
				<xsl:text>&amp;age7=</xsl:text>
				<xsl:value-of select='$age7'/>
				<xsl:text>&amp;age8=</xsl:text>
				<xsl:value-of select='$age8'/>
			</xsl:attribute>
		</xsl:element>			
	</xsl:for-each>
</div>

And the XML file that has the values of age1-age8.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ROOT>
	<AGE1>30</AGE1>
	<AGE2>10</AGE2>
	<AGE3>30</AGE3>
	<AGE4>10</AGE4>
	<AGE5>20</AGE5>
	<AGE6>0</AGE6>
	<AGE7>0</AGE7>
	<AGE8>0</AGE8>
</ROOT>


Why would you make it so complicated? Why not pass the values directly, instead of first collecting them into 8 variables:


       <xsl:for-each select="/ROOT">
           <img>
               <xsl:attribute name='src'>
                   <xsl:text>./php/chart_age.php?age1=</xsl:text>
                   <xsl:value-of select='AGE1'/>
                   <xsl:text>&amp;age2=</xsl:text>
                   <xsl:value-of select='AGE2'/>
                   <xsl:text>&amp;age3=</xsl:text>
                   <xsl:value-of select='AGE3'/>
                   <xsl:text>&amp;age4=</xsl:text>
                   <xsl:value-of select='AGE4'/>
                   <xsl:text>&amp;age5=</xsl:text>
                   <xsl:value-of select='AGE5'/>
                   <xsl:text>&amp;age6=</xsl:text>
                   <xsl:value-of select='AGE6'/>
                   <xsl:text>&amp;age7=</xsl:text>
                   <xsl:value-of select='AGE7'/>
                   <xsl:text>&amp;age8=</xsl:text>
                   <xsl:value-of select='AGE8'/>
               </xsl:attribute>
           </img>
       </xsl:for-each>

Or even iterate through the AGE elements to build up the url:

<xsl:for-each select="/ROOT">
<img>
<xsl:attribute name='src'>
<xsl:text>./php/chart_age.php?</xsl:text>
<xsl:for-each select="*">
<xsl:if test="position() > 1">&amp;</xsl:if>
<xsl:value-of select="translate(name(),$upper,$lower)"/>
<xsl:text>=</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:attribute>
</img>
</xsl:for-each>


Here you'll need the upper and lower variables:
   <xsl:variable name="upper" select="'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'"/>
   <xsl:variable name="lower" select="'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'"/>
(mind the double quotes in the select attribute!)

Best regards,
Anton
