Hi All,
Here is the flow of what I have to do. I want to know if its possible using
stylesheet variables.
<xsl:stylesheet version='1.0'
xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'>
<xsl:variable name="globalVar1">DEFAULTVAL1</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="globalVar2">DEFAULTVAL2</xsl:variable>
<xsl:template match="parent">
<!-- compute and assign value to the variables declared above-->
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="count(element1)>0">
set globalVar1="CONDVAL11"
set globalVar2="CONDVAL12"
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="count(element2)>0">
set globalVar1="CONDVAL21"
set globalVar2="CONDVAL22"
</xsl:when>
<xsl:choose>
<!-- Display the variables in the HTML page -->
<html>
<head>
<title>
<xsl:value-of select="$globalVar1" />
</title>
</head>
<body>
<b>
<xsl:value-of select="$globalVar2" />
</b>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The xml structure could be...
<parent>
<element1> ... </element1>
<element2> ... </element2>
</parent>
So, in the <html> </html> portion the globalVar1 and globaVar2 should show
CONDVALxx value. Also, the aim is to keep the number of <xsl:when...>
less and to have a generic <html> </html> code.
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestion.
Aparna
