Hi all I want to edit a portfolio page with mulitple views. My views definition is stored in an xml file: <view> <name>my view</name> <column>stock/name</column> <column>quantity</column> <column>price</column> </view> <view> <name>another view</name> ..... </view> where the "<columns>" define which column I want to select. and my portfolio xml looks like: <portfolio> <contract> <stock> <name>Red Pat</name> ... </stock> <quantity>1000</quantity> <price>20</price> </contract> <contract> .... </contract> </portfolio> The question is : Can I use xsl to apply the views? If so, how? I have considered something like <xsl:template match="portfolio"> <xsl:variable name="view" select="document('views.xml')/view[@name='my view']"/> <xsl:for-each select="contract"> <xsl:variable name="current-contract" select="self::node()"/> <xsl:for-each select="$view/column"> <xsl:value-of select="$current-contract/text()"/> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> and of course it doesn't work.:< Thx a lot Daniel XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
