Hello Michael,
you change your stylesheets from a MS-proprietary implementation of the
working draft to the XSLT standard - that's great ;-)
Look at the archives for help, tutorials, references on XSLT or the spec
itself.
Examples:
http://www.zvon.org/xxl/XSLTreference/Output/index.html
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt
http://www.topxml.com/
Your problem with <xsl:value-of/> can easily be solved with
<xsl:value-of select="."/>.
Regards,
Joerg

Hello list,
I'm just getting started developing an XSL stylesheet for displaying
metadata from XML files for various datasets, and I need some help with
the programming. Here is my situation:
I have a stylesheet that works in IE5.5 and up, but no versions of
Netscape. The original header/namespace for this XSL document that was
used is "<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl"
TYPE="text/javascript">".
When I changed this to "<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">" the
stylesheet would work in Netscape 6.2, and sort-of load in IE5.5 (but
not IE6). Now my problem is that some of the code that was previously
used no longer works.
First of all, I am no longer able to specify the <BODY> properties - as
soon as I do this, all the XSL commands become invalid expressions.
Next, and more importantly, I need to be able to list the
characteristics of multiple attributes (i.e. many "attr" tags in the XML
file) in a table.
This is how it was previously done:
The following line was used to check if any "attrlabl" elements were
used for any of the "attr" tags within the "context" path.
<xsl:if test="context()[attr/attrlabl[. != '']]">
This command was repeated to determine if any other elements within the
"attr" tags were used, and if so, an appropriate column would be added
to a table. The problem here is that "context()" is apparently no
longer a valid function (as IE6 indicated)
In the following loop, the contents of each "attr" tag was added to the
table as a row:
<xsl:for-each select="attr[attrlabl != '']">
<tr bgcolor="#ffffff">
<!-- Write out the name of the attribute -->
<xsl:for-each select="attrlabl">
<td>
<DIV CLASS="attribute"><font color="#000000"
face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><xsl:value-of /></font></DIV>
</td>
</xsl:for-each>
.....
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
The problem with this part of the code is that IE6 does not like the
<xsl:value of /> being used without a select="" statement in it. I
don't know if this is a result of some other error, or if I should be
doing this some other way.
Also, I don't seem to be able to add any javascript to the document.
I would greatly appreciate if anyone could offer some suggestions, or
perhaps point me to a helpful source.
Kind regards,
Michael Leahy
