Re: collapsable / expandable tree in XSL

Hi,

I will soon install a command-line XSLT processor (xalan-java) and I thank Jarno for his hints.
I reformulate my problem (note that I use Mozilla and not I.E. msxml):

1) Here is a starting point where I use XSL to transform an XML file describing the content of a video (it could be anything else).

http://www.idiap.ch/~guillemo/VideoBrowser/XSLTsolution/videosegTEST.xml

2) Now, I want to make a dynamic page (still with XSL) with a simple collapsable / expandable tool (the idea in static html: http://www.idiap.ch/~guillemo/VideoBrowser/clip.html ).

A good solution I found is to include javascript such as:  http://www.dansteinman.com/dynduo/en/collapsemenu.html  (simple example in collapsemenu1.html )

3) So far, I can't handle the same in XSL because of a <DIV> tag which does not finish (in the original HTML code, the author says that the javascript object will complete all the </div>'s on it's own ).

Thus, I have to find a way to create this element in the DOM: <div id="CollapseMenu0Block0"> without ending it.

I tried a lot of combinations but it still does not process the javascript:
i.e.
    <xsl:element name="div">
    <xsl:attribute name="id">CollapseMenu0Block1</xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:element>

Does anybody know a simple way to do a collapsable / expandable tree with XSL if this one cannot perform it? Using xerces parser function called by a CGI but it's a lot more code!! : )

Cheers,

Maël
