a href tooltip
Tempore 15:04:46, die 01/28/2005 AD, hinc in xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx scripsit Nicola Harlow <Nicola.Harlow@xxxxxxxxxxxx>:

Ok, I want to reuse text that I input into the XML. the output of this
is HTML.
I have a glossary section with glossary terms in it:
Basically I want to reuse that text by getting the XML to search for the
<glossaryitem>, matching the name, and then using the <term> and
<definition> to create a 'tooltip':
<a href="#" class="tooltip_Allocate">Allocate Stuff<span>Stuff about
allocations</span></a>
Note that, in html, the 'class' attribute is interpreted as a space separated list.
So, IMHO, it would be better to use:
class="tooltip Allocate"


I'll use this in the following stylesheet:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl = "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method = "html" indent = "yes"/>


<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
	<body>
		<xsl:apply-templates/>
	</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="alphahead">
<h1>
	<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</h1>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="glossaryitem">
<a href="#" class="tooltip {@name}">
	<xsl:value-of select="term"/>
	<span>
		<xsl:apply-templates select="definition"/>
	</span>
</a>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

this will output:

<html><body>
<h1>A</h1>
<a href="#" class="tooltip Allocate">Allocate Stuff<span>Stuff about allocations</span></a>
<h1>C</h1>
<a href="#" class="tooltip Commitments">Commitments<span>Text about commitments</span></a>
</body></html>


I'm sorry if this is not an answer to your question. I did not completely understand it.

regards,
