RE: Grouping into a table (for vertical alignment)

Your problem is not harder than you think. 

Just write some XHTML into your XSL just like you already do there with the
<input> element.

Is there any special reason why you want XHTML above HTML, btw?

Thanks for your reply.

>Is your problem harder than

Yes it is. I do not want to have 2 separate tables (one for the 'input' and
one for the 'password'), I want to use the a single table if both elements
need tables, and not add a table if the element is a 'text'. And its need to
be generic so that if I add in more 'input' or 'text' is will make tables
accordingly.

I try to be a bit more clear, I included the desired output this time.

XML (Input):

.
.
.
  <form>
    <name>form</name>
    <action>submit.do</action>
    <method>post</method>
    <content>

      <text>
        <value>Please enter your Name and Password.</value>
        <class>instruction</class>
      </text>

      <input>
        <name>username</name>
        <label>Name: </label>
        <value></value>
        <class>mandatory</class>
      </input>

      <password>
        <name>password</name>
        <label>Password :</label>
        <value></value>
        <class>mandatory</class>
      </password>

      <text>
        <value>All attempts are logged.</value>
        <class>warning</class>
      </text>
    </content>
  </form>
.
.
.



XHTML (Desired Output)

.
.
.
<form name="form" action="submit.do" method="post">

  <div class="instruction">Please enter your Name and Password.</div>

  <table>

    <tr>
      <td>Name: </td>
      <td><input type="text" name="username" value=""
class="mandatory"></input></td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td>Password: </td>
      <td><input type="password" name="password" value=""
class="mandatory"></input></td>
    </tr>

  <table>

  <div class="warning">All attempts are logged..</div>

</form>
.
.
.



XSLT (which does not create the table):

.
.
.
  <xsl:template match="form">
    <form>
      <xsl:for-each select="name | action | method">
        <xsl:attribute name="{name()}">
          <xsl:value-of select="."/>
        </xsl:attribute>
      </xsl:for-each>

      <xsl:apply-templates"/>
    </form>
  </xsl:template>



  <xsl:template match="text">
    <div>
      <xsl:for-each select="class">
        <xsl:attribute name="{name()}">
          <xsl:value-of select="."/>
        </xsl:attribute>
      </xsl:for-each>

      <xsl:value-of select="value"/>
    </div>
  </xsl:template>



  <xsl:template match="label">
    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
    <xsl:text>: </xsl:text>
  </xsl:template>



  <xsl:template match="input">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="label"/>

    <input>
      <xsl:attribute name="type">
        <xsl:text>text</xsl:text>
      </xsl:attribute>

      <xsl:for-each select="name | value | class">
        <xsl:attribute name="{name()}">
          <xsl:value-of select="."/>
        </xsl:attribute>
      </xsl:for-each>
    </input>
  </xsl:template>



  <xsl:template match="password">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="label"/>

    <input>
      <xsl:attribute name="type">
        <xsl:text>password</xsl:text>
      </xsl:attribute>

      <xsl:for-each select="name | value | class">
        <xsl:attribute name="{name()}">
          <xsl:value-of select="."/>
        </xsl:attribute>
      </xsl:for-each>
    </input>
  </xsl:template>
.
.
.

Daniel

Daniel,

Is your problem harder than

   <xsl:template match="input">
     <table>
       <tr>
         <td>
           <xsl:apply-templates select="label"/>
         </td>
         <td>
           <input>
             <xsl:attribute name="type">
               <xsl:text>text</xsl:text>
             </xsl:attribute>

             <xsl:for-each select="name | value | class">
               <xsl:attribute name="{name()}">
                 <xsl:value-of select="."/>
             </xsl:attribute>
             </xsl:for-each>
           </input>
         </td>
       </tr>
     </table>
   </xsl:template>

?

If so, could you be more specific as to what results you want to get?

Cheers,
Wendell
