    XSLT Tutorial: Less-than doesn't work

    in XSLT/XSL-FO

    Posted · Edited by Gil

    Wow, Martin, thanks! I guess client-side XSLT just isn't yet ready for me and my projects. I love the concept, but I'm more interested right now in things that work.

    the behaviour that you see is simply a shortcoming in the implementation
    It's a relief, actually. It tells me that I don't need to learn to use XSLT just now. I can go ahead and implement with XML and POJ (Plain Old JavaScript) -- both of which seemingly have matured enough for me. I'll put client-side XSLT off for another year or so and then check back in. Thanks for the clarity! Thanks also for the suggestions about server-side XSLT. That won't work on my current project, but I'm keeping it in mind. --Gil

    Lawsy! It don't work wid "if" neither! This code works: 

    	  <xsl:for-each select="catalog/cd">	  <xsl:sort select="price"/>	   <xsl:if test="price > 10"> 	  <tr>		<td><xsl:value-of select="title" /></td>		<td><xsl:value-of select="artist" /></td>		<td style="text-align:right"><xsl:value-of select="price" /></td>	  </tr>	   </xsl:if>	  </xsl:for-each>

    This code gets a parsing error: 

    	  <xsl:for-each select="catalog/cd">	  <xsl:sort select="price"/>	   <xsl:if test="price < 10"> 	  <tr>		<td><xsl:value-of select="title" /></td>		<td><xsl:value-of select="artist" /></td>		<td style="text-align:right"><xsl:value-of select="price" /></td>	  </tr>	   </xsl:if>	  </xsl:for-each>

    Well, if that don't beat all! The onliest thing I changed is: in the 'if' statement I changed ">" to "<". Nothin else! I promise! The error messages in both cases point to the "&" in "<". Can anyone help me usderstand why these don't work? --Gil

    I'm following the XLT Tutorial at http://www.w3schools...sl/xsl_sort.asp. I have been playing with the wonderful Try-It Editor. (Thank you to whomever invented that thing!) This code works fine: 

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><!-- Edited by XMLSpy® --><xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"><xsl:template match="/">  <html>  <body>	<h2>My CD Collection</h2>	<table border="1">	  <tr bgcolor="#9acd32">		<th>Title</th>		<th>Artist</th>		<th>Price</th>	  </tr>	  <xsl:for-each select="catalog/cd[price > 8]">	  <xsl:sort select="price"/>	  <tr>		<td><xsl:value-of select="title" /></td>		<td><xsl:value-of select="artist" /></td>		<td style="text-align:right"><xsl:value-of select="price" /></td>	  </tr>	  </xsl:for-each>	</table>  </body>  </html></xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet>

    Any number I put to replace the "8" at the end of the for-each line... 

    	  <xsl:for-each select="catalog/cd[price > 8]">

    ...works as one might expect. However, if I change the > to < (and nothing else!) in that same line,... 

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><!-- Edited by XMLSpy® --><xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"><xsl:template match="/">  <html>  <body>	<h2>My CD Collection</h2>	<table border="1">	  <tr bgcolor="#9acd32">		<th>Title</th>		<th>Artist</th>		<th>Price</th>	  </tr>	  <xsl:for-each select="catalog/cd[price < 8]">	  <xsl:sort select="price"/>	  <tr>		<td><xsl:value-of select="title" /></td>		<td><xsl:value-of select="artist" /></td>		<td style="text-align:right"><xsl:value-of select="price" /></td>	  </tr>	  </xsl:for-each>	</table>  </body>  </html></xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet>

    ...my browser [Firefox version 15.0] reports a parsing error. Why is that, do you suppose? --Gil
