Subject: [xsl] Getting output from a dropdown (Spry) menu? From: "Keith Hughes" <keithihughes@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 22 Nov 2007 10:07:45 +0000 |
Hi all, I'm trying to search an XML document using drop down menus. I'm filtering using XSL, but I want to know how to use the output of a Spry dropdown menu to filter the rest of the XML. Here's some basic code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> - <!-- DWXMLSource="company.xml" --> <!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet (View Source for full doctype...)> - <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlnssl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xslutput method="html" encoding="utf-8" doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd" /> - <xsl:template match="/"> - <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:spry="http://ns.adobe.com/spry"> - <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <script src="SpryAssets/xpath.js" type="text/javascript" /> <script src="SpryAssets/SpryData.js" type="text/javascript" /> - <script type="text/javascript"> - <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"> - <![CDATA[ var ds1 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("company.xml", "company/department/employee/job",{distinctOnLoad:true}); ]]> </xsl:text> </script> </head> - <body> - <div spry:region="ds1"> - <select name="select" spry:repeatchildren="ds1"> <option value="{job}">{job}</option> </select> </div> <p> </p> - <table border="1"> - <tr> <th>Name</th> <th>Job</th> <th>Salary</th> </tr> - <xsl:for-each select="company/department/employee"> - <xsl:if test="job = 'Programmer'"> - <tr> - <td> <xsl:value-of select="name" /> </td> - <td> <xsl:value-of select="job" /> </td> - <td> <xsl:value-of select="salary" /> </td> </tr> </xsl:if> </xsl:for-each> </table> </body> </html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> As you can see, I'm currently filtering using a xml:if function. The current filter will only give me the output of staff who are programmers (<xsl:if test="job = 'Programmer'">). What I want to do is use the output of the Spry drop down menu (ds1) to use as the filter, e.g. <xsl:if test="job = DS1">, but I don't know the correct way to do this. It may be easier t get rid of the Spry dropdown and use a xsl/html dropdown instead, but Spry seemed to be an easier way to go. I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 to produce this. If anyone could help it would be great. Hopefully it's pretty simple. Cheers.
