XSLT Functions

Hi

I am doing an XSLT that processes (for example) a list of hotels.
Each hotel has the attribute @StarRating which is one of the following
values:

*
**
***
****
*****

Is it possible to pass my attribute to a custom function that could
then do in effect a case statement on them, replacing it with an image
to represent the star rating?

I am sure that it is, but if not, how do you work around this?

Many thanks

Darren

I think this may be the way to go for me on this one Joe.

I am starting to wonder if indeed XSLT is the way to go on this, and
maybe I should parse the XML with XMLDOM in my ASPx pages.

Many thanks for your input.

doing this in C#, I'd just do a case statement on the string and then
replace it with an image name, and ideally this is what I would have
liked to have done in my XSLT.


If that's what you want, the suggestion elsewhere of a named template
may indeed be the best one. In XSLT 1.0, named templates can't be called
as functions... but their results can be assigned to variables so you
can do most of the same things with them, albeit a bit more verbosely.

mild rant follows Working now for a couple of years with xslt and now xslt 2.0, does anyone else get the impression that xslt 2.0 somehow missed the point? Yes its got a fancy new data model (and thank goodness for the new grouping functions), but where are the functions which would really have made it useful without taxing the implementers? e.g trigonometry functions for SVG; square root /log function to do simple statistics? hex/ dec...

Hi, Just wondering if anyone out there knows if it is possible to convert a CSV to xml using XSLT? I've seen a lot of examples of xml to CSV, but is it possible to go back the other way? I don't want to have to use some external program or script to parse the csv first if possible

Here's a short list of useful xslt general tricks that aren't taught at w3schools. Attribute Value Template Official W3C explanation and example This is when you want to put dynamic values in the attribute of an element. Instead of using the <xsl:attribute> element, you can simply place the xpath in the attribute itself. The most common usage of this is in creating hyperlinks.

I have added: <br><xsl:value-of select="Line" /></br> to my XSLT stylesheet to get a line per repeating block. When I view the output as XML it looks perfect - one line per block. However when I output the file to a text file, all the data is wrapping and at the end of each block I am getting the text part of the header included but not all of it. The text that appears is: <br xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"...

Let's suppose I have some nodes in an XML file, with an URL attribute: <node url="mypage.php?name1=value1&foo=bar&foo2=bar2&name2=value0" /> <node url="myotherpage.php?name4=value4&foo=bar3&foo2=bar5&name2=value8" /> and so on. Let's suppose I want to retrieve this @url parameter, BUT ONLY with the values, in querystring, associated with "foo" and "foo2" (thus discarding name1, name2, name4 and every other different ones).
