I have the following problem to solve:
The users of my application can specify an xpath like e.g.

format-date(current-date(),'[D]/[M]/[Y]', 'en', (), ())

this xpath is caught in an xslt file as just being a string (the user could also have typed in a string and then I need this string for sure), but I want this 'string' to be evaluated...
so it shoould result in 18/11/2009 instead of the string 'format-date(current-date(),'[D]/[M]/[Y]', 'en', (), ())'

So my question is, does anybody know how I execute this xpath if it comes to my function as a string...? With xpath function 'eval' or 'exec' or so??

i need some help with session id implementation

i have a site were i need to log in users
after log in, i identify them by cookies (unique user id only)

now i want to add a session id to the cookie,
so no saved cookie could be used in the future, or even after the next page request

what i want to do goes like this

1- i have a function that gives the session id - lets say adds one each time to the current session id

2- when the user logs in for the first time he gets the session id of 1,
and that session id is saved in the database, under the user unique user id

3- when he asks for a new page, his session id (1) is read from the cookie, then checked for a match with the DB
if there is a match the function add one to his session id in the DB, gives him a new cookie, and the requested page
if not he is sent back to the log in page and his cookie is deleted

4-next time the user logs in he will get the session id from the DB+1


so my questions are
first am i doing it right ?
is there an easier way of creating a session id ?
do you have any suggestions for how to session implementation ?

Thank you for your attention

I also have a Javascript which reads the Components from the XML and generates an dropdown-menu with all of the components as entries.

Now, I want to edit the XSL file on the fly, depending on which component I selected from my dropdown und reuse that XSL on my XML,
so that only the selected Components are displayed.

Any idea, how I can do this?

I thought of taking a string with the XSL text in it and edit this as I wish. But how can I then use this string as my XSL?
Or is there an easier way of achieving my goal?

I'm not familiar with XML, I would like to get couple of questions answered to see how I can properly use xml file to my advantage for web design.

On my website I have the same numeric data (number 3220) which is used in many different HTML files. This cause issues if I need to update that numeric data in many html files cause it is time consuming. I heard that xml file should take care of that.

How could I do that with xml file? I assume I need to include the xml file in the html document. In the xml document I need to set the 3220 record number, then insert specific xml code into the html file that contains that record in the xml document. The problem is none of the tutorials tell me how to include xml file, and how to insert xml code in the html document where i need it to reside. They only tell me how to properly build xml.

I found there was an XML validator that checks for well-formedness, as well as the data model of a DTD and I was wondering if there are any plans to make it more widely available, eg like the HTML/CSS validator at w3c.org.

Thank you]]> Wed, 28 Oct 2009 18:22:24 -0400 http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=28357 Complex Type With Mutliple Definitions http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=28322
I want to define a type in my XSD that will validate both the XML examples below.

CODE
<!-- Example 1 -->
<my_root_node>
<street_type>STREET</street_type>
</my_root_node>



CODE
<!-- Example 2 -->
<my_root_node>
<street_type>
<street_type>STREET</street_type>
<street_type_alias>ST</street_type_alias>
</street_type>
</my_root_node>


However I do not want to define a mixed type as I don't want the following XML example to be valid.

CODE
<!-- XML -->
<my_root_node>
<street_type>STREET
<street_type>STREET</street_type>
<street_type_alias>ST</street_type_alias>
</street_type>
</my_root_node>

<!-- XSD -->
<xs:complexType name="TYPE_street_type_COMPLEX2" mixed="true">
<xs:complexContent mixed="true">
<xs:restriction base="xs:anyType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="street_type" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="street_type_alias" type="xs:string" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:complexContent>
</xs:complexType>

Also the above example fails when I put <xs:restriction base="xs:string"> which seems odd.
ERRMSG: The <complexType> [TYPE_street_type_COMPLEX2], is of Type [http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema:string]. However [http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema:string] is not defined as a root item (either a <complexType> or <simpleType>), within this schema or any included or imported schemas.
I have tried a union, but this only worked with simple types.

I have also thought of other ways to achieve the same thing, like with the example below, but wanted to avoid putting the street_type are an attribute.

CODE
<my_root_node>
<street_type type="STREET">
<street_type_alias>ST</street_type_alias>
</street_type>
</my_root_node>


Is there another way to have multiple definitions for one type? I have read some things on this site about substitutions but didn't really understand it.

I basically want to join the two following type definitions together.

CODE
<xs:simpleType name="TYPE_street_type_SIMPLE">
<xs:restriction base="xs:string" />
</xs:simpleType>

<xs:complexType name="TYPE_street_type_COMPLEX">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="street_type" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="street_type_alias" type="xs:string" />

</xs:complexType>

Sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum, but after several hours in W3C Schools and google this is my last hope.

I have a large XML that is full of repeating nodes:

CODE
<parent id="1" value="Tom" option="x">
    <child id="a" value="first" />
    <child id="b" value="second" />
</parent>
<parent id="2" value="######" option="x">
    <child id="a" value="first" />
    <child id="b" value="second" />
</parent>


It would be nice if I could put the child nodes in an entity so that the result would be:
CODE
<parent id="1" value="Tom" option="x">¯o;</parent>
<parent id="2" value="######" option="x">¯o;</parent>


, or even part of the parent node as well:
CODE
<parent id="1" value="Tom" ¯o;
</parent><parent id="2" value="######" ¯o;


I've seen examples for this inside DTD, but I need it inside an XML file. If I'm not mistaken parsed parameter entities sound like the right tool:

CODE
<!ENTITY macro "<child id="a" value="first" /><child id="b" value="second" />">


I hope that this is possible, and that I'm just too dumb to see how.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!]]> Fri, 23 Oct 2009 15:03:10 -0400 http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=28279 Tabs And Newlines http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=28145
When I started developing, I used existing XML docs with all the tabs and returns you expect for human readability, and that looked normal to me, and I figured I'd just stick with that.

When I created the editing routines, I found that XML DOM methods have no respect for white space in parent elements. The results are ugly. Maybe you've seen this. I am not aware of XML Object methods that reformat. (Maybe I missed something?)

On the other hand, browsers and PHP don't care about tabs and returns.

So now I'm thinking I'll just leave them out. My routines get streamlined, and I can cut back a little transmission time. (Though at most I'm talking a 500-1000 chars per file, so it's not a big deal.)

In a plain text editor, files produced this way are not exactly human-readable (which spoils a traditional reason for choosing XML).

But even the dumbest real editor restores the tabs and returns, so human-readability is not a serious concern.

And I don't expect humans to read these documents except in emergencies.

Should I worry about not having tabs and returns? Am I overthinking this? Or is there a bump down the road I'm not aware of?]]> Thu, 15 Oct 2009 16:07:48 -0400 http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=28145 Xsl-fo: Bordersettings On Fo:table-row http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=28131

Actually I want to generate password at XSLT level.
The input xml has password element which will hold password in string, after applying XSLT it will encode that string and will send it for further processing.


Thanks,
Sachin.

then i got this huge xml-form that I need to convert in order to import to a database.

I've been trying back and forth with "for-each" but soon found out that I need some input
from the experts :-)

The the below XML form I need the info (actually only info from a few <fields> under each <card>)
the <field>-info under <card> to be insertet for each <article> further below. each card can have
one or more <article>. On top of this, only <card>'s with <CARD langID="5"> should be extracted.
(there are many different languages in the file)

I need to import this to an excel spreadsheet, to each <article> under each <card> followed by
the info from <fields> should be one row.

To further mess things up, the <articles> with <FIELD fieldName="Art nr" rowID="22776" langID="5">Art.-Nr.</FIELD>
where text is text and not a number (or a matched string "Art nr" = "Art.-Nr.") should not be included... not possible maybe ?
It could also drop the first <article> if there are more than one <article>.. if only one it has to be inlcuded.

I tried to make a table with <td>'s from 1 to 20 and insert the info from each <field> in the <td> below to be able to copy the whole thing to excel. got all the info, but I'm clueless on how to get the "common info" from card-field under each article.

MY xml-form:
<CARD prodCardID="36005" orgCardID="36002" langID="5" language="German" productNo=""

This <CARD> has 4 <ARTICLE> the first should not be included
Each of the <ARTICLE>'s <FIELD> should be followed by the info in the <FIELD>'s directly under >CARD>
in this case for the first <ARTICLE> export should look like this;
36002;100348;100348;Hecht;12-18 gr;11,95;BLINKER-SATZ PREMIUM;* Blinker-Satz für Barsch, Hecht o.ä.;Websmall/W100347.jpg;200

This is after I've selected which <FIELD>'s to export from the <CARD> only need a few.

Any bright heads that have any bright ideas on how to accomplish this ?!

I hope I could explain it ok, my technical English is not all that good. :-)

Tks.

I want to create a word 2003 type document (.doc). I have a xml file and a xslt file. The first one has the data the second has the style. Then I combine these two through my c# code and create the doc file.

Can you please help me into solving the below issues concerning the xslt?



1)how can I define how big are the page margins?(top bottom left and right?)

2)how can I define what is written in each page’s header and footer (I want all pages to have the same header and footer which will be a text that I will enter hardcoded)



Thank you very much for your help in advance]]> Wed, 30 Sep 2009 10:00:24 -0400 http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=27884 How To Access Value Of A Node In A For-each When Multiple Same-named Children Exist http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=27852
I have an XML file which eventually leads to something like this:

CODE
<function>
<parameter name="param1">Param1 description.</parameter>
<parameter name="param2">Param2 description here!</parameter>
<parameter name="param3">Param3 does something else, maybe...</parameter>
<returnValue>Returns true if Danny gets it right.</returnValue>
</function>
<function>
.. (similar) ..
</function>


By iterating through each <parameter> in a for-each loop -- per function, which is in its own loop -- I am able to get any parameters the function may have, whether it be 0, 1, or 50 of 'em. My problem comes when I use the following XSLT code to get the values:

CODE
<xsl:for-each select="parameter">
<xsl:valueof select="@name"/>
<xsl:value-of select="../parameter">
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:value-of select="returns"/>


This is leading to no output of the <parameter> value itself. If you're using what I've posted, then I'm looking for "Param1 description", "Param2 description here!", etc. Instead, with the above XSLT file -- directed at "../parameter" after much trial and error -- I find myself just seeing:

Param1 description
Param1 description
... (continues for each <parameter> tag)

How can I access the value of the node used in the for-each loop without referencing up such that I end up at the first node repeatedly, instead drawing the value of each node iterated through?]]> Mon, 28 Sep 2009 18:38:47 -0400 http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=27852 <![CDATA[[solved] How To Compare Two Differents Attributes]]> http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=27842

I want to compare between an attribute of <city> and an attribute of <state>
For this, I tried this code:
CODE
       <xsl:for-each select="/db">
             <xsl:if test="/db/cities/city@stateNumber=/db/states/state@stateNumber">
                             <tr>

                                           <td> <xsl:value-of select="states/state@stateNumber" /> </td>

                            </tr>
             </xsl:if>

     </xsl:for-each>

Site Integration

Templates

Templates contain code sections that act as headers and footers which are then applied to content pages, news articles or any other output from Backstage . It is similar to using PHP or SSI Includes, however the code sections are fixed at the very start and very end of whatever the templates are applied to.

This makes it possible to create a Panel element and within it add Button and Image elements in sequence where the Button element/elements have to be added before the Image element/elements. But how do i define in the XML Schema that the Button and Image element can appear in whatever order and numbers as in the example below?

CODE

<Panel>
<Image/>
<Button/>
<Button/>
<Image/>
<Button/>
...
</Panel>

I have a blog and I guess it has an RSS feed.

In order to incorporate this into my website, I need a RSS Reader and then a script that accesses this reader to display the blog content or updates? Or I can use a 3rd party provider? So they run the RSS REader and then send me the readable feed?

Is that basically how it works? If so if I find an RSS reader, I can run it on my own server and then script it.

Thanks Much

I'm learning to parse my XML using the PHP XML Expat tutorial. I was wondering if there was a querying system that would allow me to parse only certain data. Something along the lines of what PHP MySQL can do. I want myself and a couple other people to be able to use this application to add whatever data, edit whatever data, and read whatever data.

The reason that I cannot use databasing effectively for this particular application is because, as I mention, two "records" that are categorized in the same place may have a different amount of data. A good example is one part of this application helps us keep track of small sales we make. One customer could buy one item, another could buy 6, and so on. It'd be hard to make a structured database to keep track of it all efficiently. It could be done, yes, but I'd have to make more databse tables and write the application to read through each table and find all the relating data to one transaction when (if Expat can) I can kep all the data from a transaction in one "record" and have PHP just search for that particular transaction. Make sense?

Can it be done?]]> Wed, 09 Sep 2009 11:44:39 -0400 http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=27159 How To Add Gadgets To My Website http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=27133

if i use:

is x now an array of just the first albums name tags right?

and if i wanted to access specific names i just call x[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue;

I just don't understand how XPath works. There are lots of examples in the tutorial, and theoretically I understand, but in practice, it would just not work for me dry.gif

I have this xml fragment:
QUOTE
<commandTemplate schema binding>
<metainfo>
<components>
<inlinecomment> <marker char="" /> <closer char="" /> </inlinecomment>
<argumentList> <separator char="" /> </argumentList>
<valueList> <separator char="" /> </valueList>
<commandName> <marker char="" /> </commandName>
<argumentName> <marker char="" /> </argumentName>
</components>
</metainfo>
</commandTemplate>


And I want the schema to force uniqueness on each and evere "char" attribute here. And this would not work at all:

CODE
<!-- ... -->
<xs:element name="commandTemplate">
<xs:complexType> <!-- shortened out --> </xs:complexType>
<xs:key name="keyChar">
<xs:selector xpath="marker | separator | closer"></xs:selector>
<xs:field xpath="@char"></xs:field>
</xs:key>
</xs:element>
<!-- ... -->


The point is, I am unsure if my XML editor (using Eclipse IDE) show the error in any xml document using this schema, if it has non-unique char attributes. I just assume it does, but I can't find a working example of the key element with due XPath expressions.

Edit: I found bits of information about that Eclipse might not support binding between keys and elems/attris, through the modeling system. I think it means my code could be correct, but that only the editor cannot tell if the xml document conforms the xsd in that way. Thus, I cannot know what I am doing smile.gif So, how to lay this binding between "char" attributes and an xs:key?]]> Thu, 03 Sep 2009 14:44:31 -0400 http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=27068 Import Xml Into Sql2005 Using Asp http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=27042

<xsl:param name="defaultNodeSet"/> <!-- this is another node -->

<xsl:variable name="myNodeToWorkWith">

</xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:value-of select="exsl:node-set($myNodeToWorkWith)/Address[type='Business']/city"/>
</xsl:template>



this returns nothing.

Of course, i have the exsl definition on my xsl:stylesheet node : xmlns:exsl="http://exslt.org/common"

This should work

I know this is working if the <xsl:variable> is actually using <xsl:element> but i want use the fragment tree result as is.
Do you know if it is possible or i shouldn't waste my time searching again and again why the exsl:node-set is not understanding my xpath.

FYI, the XML i need looks like this :
CODE
<Me>
  <AddressBook>
     <Address>
        <type>Business</type>
        <street>street</street>
        <zip>the zip code</zip>
        <city>the city name</city>
      </Address>

</Me>
<You>
  <AddressBook>
     <Address>
        <type>Home</type>
        <street>street</street>
        <zip>the zip code</zip>
        <city>the city name</city>

        <street>street</street>
        <zip>the zip code</zip>

I am having an issue using DOM to parse a XML document that is produced by a third party website. This XML document is a valid XML document. I have saved a copy of the XML and checked it to make sure it is valid. The parsing script I am working on uses a recursive method to retrieve a parent node and all of the nodes within the parent and its children. However, when the script gets to an empty node i.e. (<NodeName />) it bombs. An example of the script is as follows:

/*********************************** Code Starts Here *********************************************/

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var parentNodeArray;
var childNodeArray;
var xmlhttp;
var siblingArray = [];
var finalArray = [];

function loadXMLDoc(url){

xmlhttp=null;

xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();

if (xmlhttp!=null){

xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=state_Change;

xmlhttp.open("GET",url,true);

xmlhttp.send(null);

}
}

function state_Change(){

if (xmlhttp.readyState==4){

if (xmlhttp.status==200){
//Getting the desired metric
parentNodeArray=xmlhttp.responseXML.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("AC04");

//Getting child nodes of metric
childNodeArray=parentNodeArray[0].childNodes;

//looping through the array
for(var i=0; i < childNodeArray.length; i++){

if(!childNodeArray[i].firstChild.hasChildNodes){
document.write(childNodeArray[i].firstChild.nodeValue + "<br/>");

}else{

var childNode=childNodeArray[i].firstChild;

siblingArray[0] = childNode;

var finalArray = GetAllSiblings(childNode);

for(var y = 0; y < finalArray.length; y++){
var grandChildNodeArray = finalArray[y].childNodes

for(var z = 0; z < grandChildNodeArray.length; z++){
document.write(grandChildNodeArray[z].firstChild.nodeValue+"<br/>");
}
}

siblingArray = [];

}
}
}else{
alert("Problem retrieving XML data:" + xmlhttp.statusText);
}
}
}

/*********** getAllSiblings ******************/

function GetAllSiblings(node){
var sibling = node.nextSibling;

while(sibling != null){
siblingArray[siblingArray.length] = sibling;
return GetAllSiblings(sibling);
}
return siblingArray;
}

</script>
</head>

<body onload="loadXMLDoc('http://www.helpussaveamerica.org/davesXML.xml')">

</body>
</html>

/*********************************** Code Ends Here *********************************************/

If one were to copy paste the above code into an html application (a file ending in .hta for those of you that aren't familiar with html applications) when opened the application would start and parse all of the values out up to the empty tag and then it will bomb stating object required. I need to find a way to get past the empty tag without editing the xml as I cannot edit the original on the third party site. Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

</DOC_OBL_3>
</DOC>

So, i have 3 elements: DOC_OBL_1, DOC_OBL_2 and DOC_OBL_3. And yes, there could be number 4, 5, 6, etc.
As you can se, all 3 have the same elements inside(actually, they have a lot of them, but arent important righ now), and I thinked i could declare a general type which could validate this kind of documents.

How can i validate this with an Schema???

I know its a very ugly XML (maybe it isnt standard, please tell me, i dont know), but It's not my concern to build this document. I just have to parse it, validate it and transform it.

I'm new to Xml and Javascrpt. I love this Xml Tutorial and have adapted it for my personal recipies. When you click on a table row, the full album information pops up. How can I make this pop up in a new window?

I've tried target="_blank" and window.open and still can't get it to work.]]> Wed, 19 Aug 2009 01:30:47 -0400 http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=26791 Xml Navigator http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=26785
Your example worked perfectly but not how I need it to work.

Instead of displaying the page information how do I get it to actually go to the Next or Previous articles on clicking on the page?

I'm picking the answer lies where I've marked <-- I think this needs to be changed yeah????

CODE
function next()
{
if (i<x.length-1)
{
i++;
display(); <-- I think this needs to be changed yeah????
}
}

function previous()
{
if (i>0)
{
i--;
display(); <-- I think this needs to be changed yeah????
}
}


That being said what do I change it to?

Please note I have no real experience of using Javascript so I'm using all of this as learning as well so if you could provide full code instead of a line or so in order for me to learn and understand what's going on I will be eternally grateful.

Thanks.

For example:

    <CustomerId>12345678901234</CustomerId>
    <MemberRowId>222222222222222</MemberRowId>

<mmmm:RetrieveSomething xmlns:clcs="http://www.mycorp.com/mmmm/retrieval/retrievesomthing" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.mycorp.com/mmmm/retrieval/retrievesomething RetrieveSomething.xsd" CorrelationId="123456789" Version="1.0">

    <EnrollmentChannel>Web</EnrollmentChannel>
    <MemberRowId>222222222222222</MemberRowId>
</mmmm:RetrieveSomething>



What should the xslt look like to accomplish that?

I thought that I could try to first copy over all non-nodes then focus on the nodes and list the specific ones I wanted to copy but I could not get it to work.

Again, I don't want to filter out specific nodes, I just want to copy specific ones!

All fine and dandy. To make matters simple, I added this to the top, after the first 3 lines:

$author = $dom->createElement('author');

$authorText = $dom->createTextNode('Jackie O');
$dom->appendChild($authorText);

$publisher = $dom->createElement('publisher');
$dom->appendChild($publisher);
$publisherText = $dom->createTextNode('Penguin');
$dom->appendChild($publisherText);

$publisherCity = $dom->createElement('publisherCity');
$dom->appendChild($publisherCity);
$publisherCityText = $dom->createTextNode('Atlanta');
$dom->appendChild($publisherCityText);

$publishedYear = $dom->createElement('publishedYear');
$dom->appendChild($publishedYear);
$publishedYearText = $dom->createTextNode('1998');
$dom->appendChild($publishedYearText);

$saveDom = $dom->save("/books.xml");

  }
}


This produces a fatal error, saying I "cannot write property..." at line 7, which is this one:
CODE
  if($elem->nodeName = "Books") {

Everything works wells and the file is saved in the "utf-8" format if the extension of the link is XML (e.g http://msdn.microsoft.com/rss.xml). The problem comes when I try to save a feed with .rss extension (e.g http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/apa/index.rss), instead of saving the feed in "utf-8" format it saves the feed in "ISO-8859-1" format.

Moreover, when I try to save the feed with .rss extension using the Save As option of the Internet Explorer it saves the feed in "utf-8" format but when I use the C# code to save the same feed it saves it in the "ISO-8859-1" format.

Is there any way to save the feed with .rss extension in "utf-8" format instead of "ISO-8859-1" format?

Whats the best way to do this? Should I just bite the bullet and use Java Script? Or is there a better/different way?
[EDIT]: A friend suggested using a PHP script to pass the data in the XML to a MySQL database and then pulling the data into the webpage from there. How easy would that be? taking into account that I know virtually nothing of MySQL.


Some details on exactly what I wish to achieve:

I want to have a link on a web page that when someone clicks it, it will open a new window, and in that window it will display some data that is retrieved from an XML document. The data will be nicely laid out and easy to read. I have already done the HTML and CSS for the new window that opens (for displaying the data nicely) now what I have to do is do the code for taking the data from the XML and putting it into the correct places in the style sheet.
I also want it to be able to do this for more than one XML document, depending on which link the user clicks on.
I was thinking of using the PHP '$_GET['p']' function for getting a text string at the end of the URL to determine which XML file to load.

So, I would like to know if there are ways to earn money from a site ( I want to earn while I learn) as I have heard about things like blogspot, google adsense, etc that help one earn money through adds. Are these ( blogs, adsense etc) such an easy way to earn from a site/blog without having any programming experience? Can anyone give me a detailed description of these things? Thanking everyone………..

I think we can also use html to transport and store data as a replacement over xml.

Pls put your thoughts for why we should prefer xml over html to transport and store data.

My thoughts:
1) We can use xml to store and send dynamic data and for this we only have to use few lines of code.
2) We can use our own tags and not to depend on predefined tags as in html like <tr><td><br>...... etc.

Your suggestions will be highly appreciated.

      <xs:attribute name="time" type="xs:int" />
    </xs:complexType>
  </xs:element>
</xs:schema>


This is using C# in VS2005.

I can create an instance of the XmlDocument and apply the schema to it, but im stumped if I can see how to populate the xmldocument using the structure predefined by the schema.
The code I have so far is this:

CODE
        XmlReaderSettings schemaIn;
        XmlDocument docOut;

        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            docOut = new XmlDocument();
            schemaIn = new XmlReaderSettings();

            schemaIn.Schemas.Add("trySchema", "schemaFile.xsd");
            schemaIn.Schemas.Compile();

            docOut.Schemas = schemaIn.Schemas;

    // then what?


The resulting xml should contain multiple entries of the value/speed/time element.
My guess is that there would be a loop which reads my raw data, creates an element, and populates it, something like this:

CODE
while (readingFile)
{
    read(file, record);
    create(docOut, element);    
    write(docOut, element , record.value);
    write(docOut, element , record.speed);
    write(docOut, element , record.time);
}
docOut.Save("filename");


Ive had a look at the DOM XML and Schema tutorials, but cant quite see the solution.

I'm just starting with XSLT so maybe someone is able to help me with my topic smile.gif

There is an XML file with the following structure:

CODE
<TestCaseData>
    <TestCase>
        <TestCaseId>XXX</TestCaseId>
        <Name>Name</Name>
        <FolderYn>Y</FolderYn>
        <CustomProperties>
            <CustomProperty>
                <Alias>Test Case ID</Alias>
                <Name>Text01</Name>
            </CustomProperty>
            <CustomProperty>
                <Alias>Preconditions</Alias>
                <Name>Text02</Name>
            </CustomProperty>
            <CustomProperty>
                <Alias>Type of Test</Alias>
                <Name>List01</Name>
            </CustomProperty>
        </CustomProperties>
    </TestCase>
    <TestCase>
        [...]
    </TestCase>
</TestCaseData>


The most interesting element for me is "FolderYn" which can contain either "Y" or "N" as I would like to format my HTML output depending on the value of this element. The final output shall behave like this:

If FolderYn is set to "Y", then format the content of <Name> as a heading (<h3>). If FolderYn is set to "N", then create a table and insert the content of <Name> for each <TestCase> as a new row until FolderYn is set to "Y" (which represents a new chapter).

Or in HTML:

CODE
<h3>Name1</h3> <!-- If FolderYn=Y -->
<table>
    <tr>
        <th>Column 1</th>
        <th>Column 2</th>
    </tr>
    <!-- Repeat for each TestCase as long as FolderYn=N and next TestCase/FolderYn=N -->
    <tr>
        <td>Name</td>
        <td>Text01</td>
    </tr>
</table>
<h3>Name2</h3> <!-- If FolderYn=Y -->
<h3>Name3</h3> <!-- If FolderYn=Y -->
<h3>Name4</h3> <!-- If FolderYn=Y -->
<table>
    <tr>
        <th>Column 1</th>
        <th>Column 2</th>
    </tr>
    <!-- Repeat for each TestCase as long as FolderYn=N and next TestCase/FolderYn=N -->
    <tr>
        <td>Name</td>
        <td>Text01</td>
    </tr>
</table>

My major problem is: I tried to solve this with several if-statements but unfortunately it's not possible that e.g. the closing </table> tag is outside of the if-statement where the opening <table> has been defined.

Oh my god, describing my problem is really hard. I hope anybody will understand my posting smile.gif If you have further questions, I'll be happy answering them.

I've tried tweaking a few different things from the web, but can't get any progress on any. I think the difficulty of having to worry about the main and sub routine makes it hard for me to use my one line of code at a time process :-)

Tutorial just introduces the very basic :-(

Looking to make a monthly and weekly routine i believe i can call on both and it will resolve on which one applies.

The "..." is for testing purposes, a way to say "I don't care what dateTime is here", whereas the actual dateTime is used in any other case.

I'm currently using fopen to get the file with the xml (wich I want to stay a php file in case I want to get information for that specific message).

CODE
<?php
$file = fopen('includes/blackoutmessagelogs.php', "r+");
while(!feof($file)){
    echo fgets($file) . '<br />';
}
fclose($file);
?>

Fairly new to using xslt... I have multiple xslt files that the user can load to view the data. I want to create an xslt that displays the XML as if no transformation was done on it. I want the tags displayed as if no style sheet was loaded... Any suggestions? I'm able to display the tags by replacing "<" by "<", etc. but the data is all bunched up with no separation between tags.

Thanks in advance,

suppose $cat_id is having value 1;
$dom->createElement('CATID',$cat_id); doesn't work in ie but works in other browsers.
$dom->createElement('CATID',1); works fine in ie too.
but in both cases xml is same ,if you will see the xml in browser. I am totally clueless what's going wrong if i assign that variable to that element in XML. i even checked the bytes through wireshark but it is same in both the cases.
please help me out.]]> Sun, 12 Jul 2009 02:24:08 -0400 http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=26045 Ajax Rss Reader http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=26041

I have a problem currently with looping in XSLT..
What i'm trying to do is removing duplicates from a Node structure

I have many regs that contain a set of persons.

when i do
<xsl:for-each select="./persons/person">
<xsl:if test="./name[.=following::name]">true</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>

when it reaches the first Ant. it will print true instead Nothing because it sees in the next person's set another Ant but I want it to print nothing!
while for Bob because there no more bob afterwards it won't print anything which is good..

I could not find the solution

any help is appreciated....

XML BELOW and below the xml is my XSLT


<roots>
<regs>
<persons>
<person>
<name>Ant</name>
<type></type>
</person>
<person>
<name>Bob</name>
<type></type>
</person>
</persons>
</regs>
<regs>
<persons>
<person>
<name>Ant</name>
<type></type>
</person>
<person>
<name>Mark</name>
<type></type>
</person>
</persons>
</regs>
<roots>


part of my XSLT

<xsl:for-each select = "regs">
<xsl:for-each select="Persons/Person">
<xsl:if test="./name[.=following::name]">true</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each]]> Thu, 09 Jul 2009 11:06:03 -0400 http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=26001 Xml And Cookies http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=25974 i'm developing a simple application entirely based on xml.

I use eXist xml-based db and, in a few words, that's what i'm working on: I have some xml files that are transformed using xquery into other xml files, formatted in html using xsl and css.

Now i would use the cookies to manage the user's sessions: do i need something like php/asp/jsp or am i able to do the same using the instruments that i'm already using?

Thank you all.]]> Wed, 08 Jul 2009 06:42:08 -0400 http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=25974 Namespace Problem http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=25959 that's my first post here.

i have a problem with the namespaces using xslt to transform an xml document.

The xml document is:

CODE
<?xml-stylesheet href="dettagli.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>
<page>
<compositore>
<nome>Pink Floyd</nome>
<recensione>
bla bla bla
</recensione>
</compositore>
<items xmlns="urn:apis:Components">
<Item>
<Title>item1</Title>
</Item>
<Item>
<Title>item2</Title>
</Item>
<Item>
<Title>item3</Title>
</Item>
</items>
</page>


The xslt section that doesn't work is:
CODE
<div id="news">
<xsl:for-each select="/page/items/Item">
<p><xsl:value-of select="Title"/></p>
</xsl:for-each>
</div>

I suppose that the xslt doesn't work because of the xmlns in the "items" node.

Could you please suggest me how to fix that problem?

Thank you.]]> Tue, 07 Jul 2009 12:56:45 -0400 http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=25959 Displaying Xml Nodes In A Table http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=25862
XML structure:

CODE
search-results
   object1
   object2
   object3
   items
      file-item
         name
         description
         genre
      file-item
         name
         description
         genre
      file-item

xslt:

CODE
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="utf-8" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
<table border="0" id="research" class="style1">
  <tr>
    <th scope="col">A</th>
    <th scope="col">B</th>
    <th scope="col">C</th>
  </tr>
    <xsl:for-each select="search-results/items/file-item">
  <tr>
    <td><xsl:if test="genre = 'A'"><xsl:value-of select="name"/></xsl:if></td>
    <td><xsl:if test="contains(genre, 'B')"><xsl:value-of select="name"/></xsl:if></td>
    <td><xsl:if test="genre = 'C'"><xsl:value-of select="name"/></xsl:if></td>
  </tr>
  </xsl:for-each>
</table>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


My problem is, that if the first file-item has a genre of "a", its puts it column "a", but then if the next file-item has a genre of "b" (allthough it puts it in the "b" column) it puts it on the next row.

The table im getting looks somthing like this:

A-----B------C
a
a
-------b
-------b
a
--------------c

but i want it to look like this:

A B C
a b c
a b c
etc...

Any help would be much appreciated!!]]> Tue, 30 Jun 2009 11:52:33 -0400 http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=25862
