Creating HTML from an XML and XSLT

Thom Anderson

Hi, I'm a newbee at XML so I need to ask this. I have an xml data like
follows.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<salesRep repnum="123" orgdate="16">
<fname>Joe</fname>
<lname>Jones</lname>
<active>1</active>
<jobtitle>Sales Manager</jobtitle>
<alternateRepNumbers>
<alternateRepNum>124</alternateRepNum>
<alternateRepNum>125</alternateRepNum>
<alternateRepNum>128</alternateRepNum>
</alternateRepNumbers>
</salesRep>

I need to display it like this but I don't know how to create a transform
XSLT document. Can someone create it for me so I can understand it. I made
this example easy I think.

<html><body><table cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="10"
border="1"><tr><td><table border="1"><tr><td colSpan="2">Date:
16</td></tr><tr><td colSpan="2">Rep Information: Joe
Jones</td></tr><tr><td height="5"><B>Job Title:</B></td><td eight="5">Sales
Manager</td></tr><tr><td><B>Primary Rep
Num:</B></td><td>123</td></tr><tr><td><B> Active
Status:</B></td><td>Yes</td>
</tr><tr valign="top"><td><B>Alternate Numbers</B></td><td><table border="0"
cellpadding="0"><tr><td>124</td>
</tr><tr><td>125</td></tr><tr><td>128</td></tr></table></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></body></html>

Following is an example to generate HTML output using XSLT on your input xml
docuemnt.
In the following xslt, I'm writing the orgdate attribute of the salesRep
node into a Date row in a table in the output.
The idea is to have your html tags interspersed with xslt. As far as xslt
code goes, you can have the top level amtch expression match salesRep node
as in
<xsl:template match="salesRep">
and write out the xpath for the attribute /child nodes underneath it as
shown below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<xsl:template match="salesRep">
<html>
<body>
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="'Date'"/>
</td>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="@orgdate"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

hope this helps,
swapna
