Hi all!
I'm working on a problem where the situation is that I have an XSP page
with a form, and once it is submitted, I want to display an identical
form, and to use the form content for the fields that were submitted if
they exist, otherwise, I want to populate the fields with data from
another source, something that's available in XML markup too. (Uhm, was
that clear...? At least it was short... :-) )
I've been pounding my head against this problem for several days, and
now, I'm trying to address it in a XSLT transformation by using the
params that AxKit passes.
For a named field, it is easy enough if I don't do any checking:
In my XSP, I have something like
<value><val:insert name="title"/></value>
and replace the title easily with $title, which is a query parameter:
<xsl:template match="//val:insert">
<xsl:value-of select="$title"/>
</xsl:template>
But this is of little use, because I'd like to have a single template
replacing all the possible parameters, so instead of $title, I should
use the
@name
(i.e. the name attribute of the val:insert element), to identify the
parameter. That's a pure XSLT/XQuery question I guess, but I might as
well ask: Any ideas on how to do that?
But then, I need to test whether a parameter exists... In XSP that's
straightforward, thanks to the many good taglibs, but I haven't found
anything on checking the parameters in XSLT, is it doable?
Is there more documentation on the parameters AxKit pass to XSLT
somewhere now? I remembered an old thread about them and found it in
the archives, but that was about all.
Kip, anything about that in your new book? It's in the mail on its way
here... :-)
Cheers,
Kjetil
