Mike, thanks for replying to my last post.
Let me start this one off by saying that I am confused between
xml parsers and xslt processors. Which one is MSXML?
I am using an application that I believe uses either the same or
something similar to the MSXML that ships with IE5. This application
contains sample xsl, all of which start with:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl">
When I use this, I can create html tables. However, I can't use
something like:
<TD>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test=". = 'Transaction_Type'">
Transaction Type
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of />
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</TD>
I get: Expected token 'eof' found '='. . -->=<-- 'Transaction_Type'
Now, if I change
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl">
to
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
... I find that my text Transaction_Type does change to
Transaction Type but I don't get my table. Instead I receive what I
think is called the literal result- basically the text of the elements.
I've been reading an XML Namespaces FAQ, and I thought I might be able
to work around my problem by having in my xsl:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl"
xmlns:trans="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
Then I rewrote my choose condition like this:
<TD>
<trans:choose>
<trans:when test=". = 'Transaction_Type'">
Transaction Type
</trans:when>
<trans:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of />
</trans:otherwise>
</trans:choose>
</TD>
But now my table cells contain both the text Transaction Type
(notice without the underscore, which is what I want) AND the text
that results from <xsl:value-of />.
I hope I have been clear in trying to explain my problem.
Can someone give any suggestions on how I can get my tables AND
change my text?
Thanks,
-alex
