can anyone shed any light on the following? I want to exclude part of
my xml content-specifically i want to exclude the text between the
opening and closing <message> tags.
I want to format the page to display message titles as html anchor
tags, and exclude the message body.
the xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE bbs []>
<bbs>
<message id="1" title="New message">This is a message being
processed thus</message>
<message id="2" title="thursday"> enter comments
here</message>
</bbs>
which is formatted to html thus:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' ?><xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0"><xsl:output method="html" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:variable name="servlet-dir">/servlet/XSL?
id=</xsl:variable>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="bbs">
<html>
<head>
<title>
<xsl:value-of
select="@title"/>
</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#000099" text="#ffffff">
<img src = "new2.jpg"/>
<xsl:apply-
templates select="message"/>
<br/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="message">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0"
cellpadding="4">
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#996600">
<font color="#ffffff"
face="helvetica, arial, sans-serif" size="+1">
<b>
<a href="{$servlet-
dir}{@id}"><xsl:value-of select="@title"/>
</a>
</b>
<br/>
</font>
</td>
<br/>
</tr>
</table>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
<br/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="id"><xsl:apply-templates/></xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="title"><xsl:apply-
templates/></xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet>
many thanks in advance to anyone with suggestions :)
