I have an existing application I'm trying to support, and am having some troubles. I'm not too familiar with XML/XSL. Here's the situation.
I am trying to put a value from a querystring into a hidden form element using xsl. where the url is object.asp?candidateID=285
there is an asp file that looks like it creates the xml file. Inside that file there is this code:
for each item in request.queryString
proc.addParameter cstr(item), cstr(request.queryString(item))
next
I'm assuming this creates an xml object somewhere that I can reference.
Inside my xsl file I am trying to reference it this way:
But it is not returning a value.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. It's driving me nuts...

The XSL is not going to be able to read that. You should try something like:
<input type="hidden" name="candidateID">
<xsl:attribute name="value">
<xsl:value-of select="@candidateID" />
</xsl:attribute>
</input>

When I view the source this is al I get.
So for some reason it's not picking up the value from the url.

Well, it's selecting @candidateID. That would have to be an attribute of the current node. I have no idea what the current node is when this code is run. You really just have to check the code before it to see where the XSL processor is in regards to the XML file. If you need help, you can always post more of your XSL and a sample of the XML you're parsing.

the xml looks like this:
- <survey id="DFSCRFKPY5dAM4UJAIP1" style="/adeptiv/survey/assets/templates/none.xsl">
<name>Test2
<description>
- <questions>
<question id="a3eDT0NR7ZcYYKRNQ05d" type="field" number="1" depth="1" required="false" value="How old are you" answer="">
- <question id="FNDL0YhGVg5aK3PZdOb6" type="pulldown" number="2" depth="1" required="false" value="Where do you live" answer="">
PA
VT
- <question id="X2M7aO1D4b1RMcSXWQB4" type="radio" number="3" depth="1" required="false" value="how important is Apple Pie?" answer="">
1
2
3
4
5
So I don't even see the candidateID in there.
The xml is being generated by and asp page. which contains this code:
set selection = xmlDoc.selectSingleNode(path)
if typename(selection) <> "Nothing" then
style = selection.text
set xslDoc = load(style)
xsltDoc.stylesheet = xslDoc
set proc = xsltDoc.createProcessor()
proc.input = xmlDoc
for each item in request.queryString
proc.addParameter cstr(item), cstr(request.queryString(item))
next
for each item in request.form
proc.addParameter cstr(item), cstr(request.form(item))
next
for each item in request.serverVariables
proc.addParameter cstr(lcase(item)), cstr(request.serverVariables(item))
next
I was thinking because it looks like it loops through the query string, it should be creating something in the xml that I could reference. I just don't see it.
Thanks so much for looking at this!

I can't quite see all your XML. Did you use the check box to ignore html tags? Anyways, if candidateID is not an attribute in there, then it certainly won't show up in your input tag. But, what you're looking at with proc.addParameter is that a parameter is being passed into the XSL for processing. Up at the top of the XSL should be a xsl:param tag for candidateID if that is indeed one of the items in the querystring or form. To access it use $candidateID instead of @candidateID. The $ is used for variables and the @ is used for attributes.

You can use a list:
<summary>
This is a table.
<list type="table">
<listheader>
<term>Col A</term>
<term>Col B</term>
</listheader>
<item>
<description>1</description>
<description>2</description>
</item>
<item>
<description>3</description>
<description>4</description>
</item>
</list>
</summary>

Hi,
I need to add, remove or make optional, some elements based on the values of an attribute of the parent element.
I have an element "report" that has an attribute "investortype", which can have 3 possible values: "none", "indvidual" and "group".
Now what i need is, to create/modify elements in the report element based on these 3 values. The following example will elaborate:
investortype = "individual"
---------------------------
<report
reportname="ABCD"
destinationdir="C:\XSD"
outputfilename="$DATE1$-ABCD.txt"
investortype="none">
<!-- Both elements below should be Optional-->
<investorcode code="316" />
<investorrange start="316" end="317"/>
</report>
investortype = "group"
---------------------------
<report
reportname="ABCD"
destinationdir="C:\XSD"
outputfilename="$DATE1$-ABCD.txt"
investortype="none">
<!-- Atleast one of the two is required -->
<investorcode code="316" />
<investorrange start="316" end="317" />
</report>
investortype = "none"
---------------------
<report
reportname="ABCD"
destinationdir="C:\XSD"
outputfilename="$DATE1$-ABCD.txt"
investortype="none">
<!-- None of the 2 should be present -->
</report>
Any help or hint would be great. Also i need to know if this is even possible in XSD?
Awaiting reply and Thanx in advance

hi there,
I used to place a meta refresh (forwarding to a page explaining that javascript is required) within a noscript tags in my header. it looked like this and worked fine:
<head>
... stuff here...
<noscript>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=myerrorpage.aspx" />
</noscript>
</head>
but nowadays I swim with the river and try to be standards complient. I use the w3c validators to validate my xhtml. it throws an error because it doesn't like the noscript tags. I wonder how I can check wether the clientbrowser supports javascript with this limitation.
how do you folks do it?
thanks in advance!

hi eggie,
thanks for your reply. in case the client browser does not support javascript or has javascript disabled, i want to send him to a specific page where he gets some information about the basic requirements to access the site.

Hi
I am now using xlst to write out my xml doc as a HTML string instead of using selectnode etc. It's neat. But....I can't work out how to specify search criteria for the xml doc. I just get it all. Sample below :-
XML DOC
<Fields>
<BatchParam name="Field 1" tab="Tab 1" Seq="1" />
<BatchParam name="Field 2" tab="Tab 1" Seq="3" />
<BatchParam name="Field 3" tab="Tab 1" Seq="2" />
<BatchParam name="Field 1" tab="Tab 2" Seq="1" />
<BatchParam name="Field 2" tab="Tab 2" Seq="3" />
<BatchParam name="Field 3" tab="Tab 2" Seq="2" />
<BatchParam name="Field 1" tab="Tab 3" Seq="1" />
</Fields>
I want to display a specific tab, eg Tab 2 in a table, ordered by seq
My XSL
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match='/ | @* | node()'>
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()">
<xsl:sort select='@seq'/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:copy>
<tr>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select='position()'/>
</td>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select='@tab'/>
</td>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select='@name'/>
</td>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select='@seq'/>
<br/>
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
and finally my C# code
System.IO.StringWriter objStream = new System.IO.StringWriter();
System.Xml.Xsl.XslTransform objTransform = new System.Xml.Xsl.XslTransform();
objTransform.Load(madconfig.Config.Get("MYXSLFILE.XSL"));
System.Xml.XPath.XPathDocument xml = new System.Xml.XPath.XPathDocument("MYXMLFILE.XML");
System.Xml.XPath.XPathNavigator xmlNav = xml.CreateNavigator();
objTransform.Transform(xmlNav, null, objStream, null);
Response.Write ("<table border=1>"+objStream.ToString()+"</table>");
And this displays ALL the entries. Before, rolling my own I did something like
string tabName = GetTabName();
System.Xml.XPath.XPathExpression expr = xmlNav.Compile("/Fields/BatchParam[@name=\""+tabName+"\"]");
System.Xml.XPath.XPathNodeIterator iterator = xmlNav.Select(expr);
Any ideas...?
Regards
Angel

So...you can pass parameters down. But I am still struggling. This is where I am now...
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:param name="tabName" select="Main"></xsl:param> <-- MY PARAM
<xsl:template match="Fields">
<table border="3">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="BatchParam">
<xsl:sort select='@tab'/>
<xsl:sort select='@seq'/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:copy>
</table>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="BatchParam[@tab='Main']"> <-- WHERE I WANT TO USE IT
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select='position()'/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select='@tab'/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select='@name'/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select='@seq'/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
If I replace the hardcoded 'Main' with the param as in
<xsl:template match="BatchParam[@tab=$tabName]">
I get an exception...
System.Xml.XPath.XPathException: 'BatchParam[@tab=$tabName]' is an invalid key pattern. It either contains a variable reference or 'key()' function.
Help!!!!

Malcolm Smart wrote: <xsl:param name="tabName" select="Main"></xsl:param>
This line is a little odd. This is a template parameter, not a variable. The difference is that you're supposed to be passing this parameter in when you call the stylesheet. There are also parameters for template matching sections. You can put a variable instead:
<xsl:variable name="tabName"></xsl:variable>
Also, your select is not going to put the string 'Main' into tabName. It's going to try and find a node called Main and put it there. You could stick text into it if you want:
<xsl:variable name="tabName"><xsl:text>Main</xsl:text></xsl:variable>
As for your XPath statement, I'm unsure why it gave you that error. Try changing to a variable with text and see how it reacts.

Hi Thanks for the info...still no joy (and I am trying - have been all ****** afternoon...)
Overall reqs are - use select tab from front end. I extract just the nodes which have the tab attribute set to this tab. So a) I need to be able to pass the tab name down from the front end into the xsl and b) use it in teh xsl. I am still struggling with b) and not even looked at a) yet!!
My code now, with your changes, still gives the exception....I need a little more hand holding. This is my first venture into XSL and really struggling, both conceptually, and syntactically.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:variable name="tabName">
<xsl:text>Main</xsl:text>
</xsl:variable> <xsl:template match="Fields">
<table border="3">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="BatchParam">
<xsl:sort select='@tab'/>
<xsl:sort select='@seq'/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:copy>
</table>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="BatchParam[@tab=$tabName]"> <tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select='position()'/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select='@tab'/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select='@name'/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select='@seq'/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
It still doesn't like the $tabName. VS2005 highlights it as a problem in the editor before i run it!

Ok, there are a few changes that you have to make to your XSL:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:variable name="tabName"><xsl:text>Tab 2</xsl:text></xsl:variable>
<xsl:template match="Fields">
<table border="3">
<xsl:apply-templates select="BatchParam[@tab=$tabName]">
<xsl:sort select="@Seq" data-type="number"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</table>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="BatchParam">
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select='position()'/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select='@tab'/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select='@name'/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select='@Seq'/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The first change is for the value of tabName from "Main" to "Tab 2" so it actually matches something in the XML you provided. The next thing is the statement BatchParam[@tab=$tabName]. Normally you can do this, but the problem is where you placed it. You put it in the select for the template match. You simply can't put variables there. You want that variable to be placed in the call to the template match, not in the declaration of the template match. Also, your select of @seq wasn't returning anything because the XML you provided was using Seq as the attribute. So be careful of the case sensitivity. Also, be sure to specify the "number" data type when sorting otherwise you can get something like 1, 10, 11, 12, 2, 3, etc.

Hero. Many thanks. The 'Main' bit was a typo, the code I pasted wasn't the code I am working on (not allowed....).
I appreciate your help, and looking at the number of posts on here, a lot of others appreciate your help as well!!

And for completeness, I swapped the xsl:variable for a xsl:param and in the code used XsltArgumentsList to populate it from the client - and it works a treat.
Thanks again

Awesome. Glad to hear everything's working out. Although I am starting to feel like an XSL/XPath *cough*expert*cough*. Not sure if that's a good thing.
