How to make an html table out of that ?

[Rolf Kemper]

Dear all
please find below a part of code I have returned by sql server. It
describes an error condition as usual in two lines. The additional
text is from the application and should be on top. What I would like
to achive is a simle table with 3 lines:
1st the simple text
2nd MSSSQLError tag 1
3rd MSSSQLError tag 2

I tried varous attempts to select the attributes of the MSSQLError
tags.
In any case I get never everything. My last trisl was to use the
copy-of.
This basically throughs the MSQMLError Tags into the HTML , but only
the first line is shown by IE (probable it has the problem with the
second tag <?MSSQLError ....
##################### test xml below ###############

<NewBlock xmlns:sql="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-sql">
<?MSSQLError HResult="0x80040e2f" Source="Microsoft OLE DB Provider
for SQL Server" Description="The statement has been
terminated."?><?MSSQLError HResult="0x80040e2f" Source="Microsoft OLE
DB Provider for SQL Server" Description="INSERT statement conflicted
with COLUMN FOREIGN KEY constraint
'FK_BlocksTec_tab_const_ProcessTec_tab'. The conflict occurred in
database 'libdb', table 'const_ProcessTec_tab', column
'ProcessTec_ID'."?>COULD NOT INSERT Block

</NewBlock>

any help is highly welcome

Hi,

AFIAk, you cannot access the 'attributes' of a processing instruction, because it cannot have any. A processing instruction consists of a name and a string value.
Wouldn't it be easier to use regular elements in stead of PIs?

regards,

This is true at the XML level. But applications often use attribute
syntax in the string value of a processing instruction (consider
stylesheet PIs for example, or the not-technically-a-PI XML
declaration). Whether any APIs provide support for parsing them, I
don't know.

Yes, you're right indeed.
I was silently assuming that Rolf is dealing with an XLST. When he tells about an attempt with 'copy-of' I thought that would be an xsl element. In XSLT you're bound to stay at the DOM Level. So you cannot access PI attributes. (Please correct me if I'm wrong)
