Hi Martin,
Thanks for your tip ...
However, I would like to retrieve an item of text from the grid (one
particular column which will later be removed from the display) and
show this as a main title for the page (i.e. the title will vary
depending on the grid that is opened).
What you need to do depends on the input XML, in terms of XSLT all you
need to do is put a literal result title element with e.g.
<title><xsl:value-of select="/element/child1/child2/child" /></title>
at the proper place where the title element belongs in HTML.
This sounds like exactly what I need but I gave it a try and couldn't
get it to display. That's a shame.
That XPath
expression as the select attribute value of course needs to be written
according to which element you want to select in your XML but as you
haven't bothered to share your XML that is all we can suggest.
Sorry about not sending the XML. Below are excerpts from the XML and
XSL files (I want to display the 'LangFrom' field in the title) ...
Excerpt from XML ...
--------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="OpenJobs.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>
<dataroot>
<job>
<job_id>8029</job_id>
<Status>A</Status>
<job_Title>Report 2005</job_Title>
<Action_pers>Hansen, M</Action_pers>
<LangFrom>EN</LangFrom>
<LangInto>DA</LangInto>
<job_Pages>0.5</job_Pages>
</job>
<job>
<job_id>7948</job_id>
<Status>C</Status>
<job_Title>Update of OrgaChart</job_Title>
<Action_pers>Hald, B</Action_pers>
<LangFrom>EN</LangFrom>
<LangInto>DA</LangInto>
<job_Pages>1</job_Pages>
</job>
</dataroot>
Excerpt from the XSL ...
------------------------
....
<xsl:template match="dataroot">
<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
... some javascript here
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Language: <xsl:value-of select="/job/LangFrom" /></h1>
<table width="95%" border="1">
<tr bgcolor="#dddddd" VALIGN="TOP">
<td class="head" onclick="sort('job_id');">Job</td>
<td class="head" onclick="sort('Status');">On Hold</td>
Code goes on to display the grid in this table ...
-------------------------
Maybe you have an idea why this isn't working?
And I was wondering if I need to include an 'apply-template' statement
too? e.g. <xsl:apply-templates select="job">
Thanks very much for your help.

Alan Searle
