I have
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns  sl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"><xsl:template match="/"> <html> <body> <xsl:for-each select="category/entry"> <xsl:value-of select="job"/><br/> <xsl:value-of select="date"/><br/> </xsl:for-each> </body> </html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> and my .xml file has <category>Jobs</category> <entry> <job>Plumber</job> <date>12/5/04</date> </entry> <category>Teams</category> <entry> <job>Jets</job> <date>12/3/04</date> </entry> I want to have unlimited entries, but I also want to run a for-each on the categories. How would I structure something like that? I'm absolutely new to this, so please bear with me! Thanks. |

I suggest the following data structure <?xml version="1.0"?> <categories> <category> <name>Jobs</name> <entries> <entry> <job>Plumber</job> <date>15/504</date> </entry> <entry> [...] </entry> </entries> </category> <category> <name>Teams</name> <entries> <entry> <name>...</name> <date>...</date> </entry> </entries> </category> </categories> with the sheet (using apply-templates instead of for-each) <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns sl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"><xsl  utput method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="no"/><xsl:strip-space elements="*"></xsl:strip-space> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <body> <xsl:apply-templates></xsl:apply-templates> </body> </html> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="category/name"></xsl:template> <xsl:template match="job|date"> <xsl:apply-templates></xsl:apply-templates><br/> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> -- nicolas // |

How would I structure something like that? I'm > absolutely new to this, so please bear with me! Thanks. Nicolas has already suggested a different markup design, which is more explicit and properly nested. The trick is to enclose things in the elements which name what they are -- personally I prefer compactness, especially where the data is categorical: <data> <entry cat="Jobs" job="Plumber" date="2004-05-12"/> <entry cat="Teams" job="Jets" date="2004-03-12 </data> I STRONGLY recommend using ISO 8601 dates in the format given: they are much easier to manipulate. Then you don't need for-each at all: <xsl:apply-templates select="/data/entry"> <xsl:sort select="@cat"/> <xsl:sort select="@date"/> </xsl:apply-templates> ///Peter |

Thanks Nicolas,
I'm a bit confused by the line, <xsl:template match="job|date"> because I may have other things besides those two. How can I allow for an unlimited number of data-types under "entry"? nicolas wrote: > Le 14 Sep 2005 17:52:42 -0700 > "Guttyguppy" <> a écrit: > > > I have > > > > [xsl snip] > > and my .xml file has > > [snip] > > > > I want to have unlimited entries, but I also want to run a for-each on > > the categories.
