Greetings;
I have an xml document with the following structure:
<root>
<topic id="1">
<topic_name>topic name</topic_name>
<sub_topic id="1">subtopicname</sub_topic>
<sub_topic id="2">subtopicname</sub_topic>
<sub_topic id="3">subtopicname</sub_topic>
</topic>
<topic id="2">
<topic_name>topic name</topic_name>
<sub_topic id="4">subtopicname</sub_topic>
<sub_topic id="5">subtopicname</sub_topic>
<sub_topic id="6">subtopicname</sub_topic>
</topic>
.
.
.
</root>
Can someone please show me how to make an XSLTransformation that will:
--Transform the topic into html rows. 3 topics to row.
(i want it flexible so that i can later change the xsl to 4 per row.
therefore i wish to use something like
<xsl:if test="position() mod 3 = 0">
</tr><tr> <!--naturally this gives an error-->
</xsl:if>
)
all the sub_topics must be presented below each corresponding topic name.
Therefore I'm thinking about something along the lines of the following. (
I could be way off. if someone could help that would be great.
<xsl:template match="/">
<table>
<tr>
<xsl:for-each select="root/topic">
<td><xsl:apply-templates select="displaytopic" />
</td>
<xsl:for-each>
</tr>
</table>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="displaytopic">
<xsl:element name="a">
<xsl:attribute name="href">
/anasppage.asp?id=<xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="topic_name" />
</xsl:element>
<xsl:apply-templates select="display_related_sub_topic" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="display_related_sub_topic">
<xsl:element name="a">
<xsl:attribute name="href">
/anasppage.asp?id=<xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="sub_topic" />
</xsl:element>
<xsl:apply-templates select="sub_topic" />
</xsl:template>
all guidance would be greatly appreciated.
