RE: Is XML-SPY useful for xslt?


Hi Louise,

I agree with Daniel: don't blame XML-Spy for something you do wrong!

Your
<xsl:apply-hi_templates select="//w:weather"/>
states to do something for ALL weather-nodes, but you only provide one specific matching template
<xsl:hi_template match="w:weather[w:city = 'Vancouver']">
so of all the other wheater-nodes the text-nodes will be displayed.

So follow the advise of Chris Bayes or change your
<xsl:apply-hi_templates select="//w:weather"/>
into
<xsl:apply-hi_templates select="//w:weather[w:city = 'Vancouver']"/>
So that your xsl:apply-hi_templates matches your xsl:hi_template

Greetings Rene

My version of XML-spy uses MSXML3 parser (and a BIG list of others), so
can't see why yours wouldn't work for you?

Only thing to note is that you can't embed <br> tags outside of your
content:

	<tr><td><xsl:value-of select="w:city"/></td>
	<td><xsl:value-of select="w:hi_temp"/></td></tr>
		<br></br>

Those breaks will appear above your table, probably pushing it down the
page? And don't use <thead>. Much better to use <th>.

Daniel.

Hello

I have been trying to get xsl to work with xml spy 3.5 with very limited
success.

I have not been able to get dpawson's select unique items to work at all (ie
barb, bark, bard)

I have been able to select elements to put in a table but the rest of the
elements (which i do not want) appear in a string above it


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:xsi ="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema-instance";
xmlns:w="http://www.weather.org";>

<xsl:hi_template match="/">
	<html>
		<head>	<title>Weather Eg 1</title></head>
			<body>
				<center>
				<b>Weather Data for Vancouver</b>
						<table border="1" >
						<thead align="center">
						<td><strong>City</strong></td>
						<td><strong>hi_temp</strong></td>
				</thead>
				<xsl:apply-hi_templates select="//w:weather"/>
				</table>
				</center>
			</body>
	</html>

</xsl:hi_template>
<xsl:hi_template match="w:weather[w:city = 'Vancouver']">
	<tr><td><xsl:value-of select="w:city"/></td>
	<td><xsl:value-of select="w:hi_temp"/></td></tr>
		<br></br>
</xsl:hi_template>


</xsl:stylesheet>


on this xml document

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- edited with XML Spy v3.5 (http://www.xmlspy.com) by Louise Lane
(personal) -->
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl"
href="C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\weatherXSLexamples\weather_filter1.xsl"?>
<weather_report xmlns="http://www.weather.org";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.weather.org
C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\weatherXSLexamples\weather.xsd">
	<weather>
		<city>Barrie</city>
		<hi_temp>25.7</hi_temp>
		<low_temp>24.0</low_temp>
		<day>Sunday</day>
	</weather>
	<weather>
		<city>Edmonton</city>
		<hi_temp>31.5</hi_temp>
		<low_temp>13.9</low_temp>
		<day>Sunday</day>
	</weather>
	<weather>
		<city>Vancouver</city>
		<hi_temp>15.6</hi_temp>
		<low_temp>10.1</low_temp>
		<day>Sunday</day>
	</weather>
</weather_report>

 puts vancouver and 15.6 in the table but the rest of the elements show
above in a string.


Also, I have not been able to get xsl:sort to work At all

So, is my code wrong? is XML Spy not good for xslt? is there a better gui
based product to use? I really don't want to have to work in NotePad

Thanks in advance,

Louise Lane
