Show Tree Structure in XSL

jdbolt · Nov 18, 2005

Hi,

I came on this forum a few days to get a problem solved and I was helped really quickly so I'm hoping for a simialr experience this time!

I have an XML file:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root type='foo'>
<child>
<modifier>BBCDS</modifier>
<modifierdescription>BBCDS Project</modifierdescription>
<level>2</level>
</child>
<child>
<modifier>BFCI</modifier>
<modifierdescription>BFCI Project</modifierdescription>
<level>3</level>
</child>
<child>
<modifier>DMS</modifier>
<modifierdescription>Document Managment System</modifierdescription>
<level>4</level>
</child>
</root>

I was wanting to represent this as a tree structure - by the way to confuse matters, the order is backwards! (the highest number is the root parent. For example

- DMS

- BFCI

- BBCDS

Note: There number of parent portals is not limitied, although in practice it would only ever be around 5 maximum.

Thanks everyone!

Don't really understand what you want. You just want to output the modifier value with indentation equal to the level value?

Yeah thats right, loop through the modifiers, and for each level indent it a little bit more

Something like this?

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">[/URL]
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <html>
      <head>
        <title>Test</title>
      </head>
      <body>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="root/child"/>
      </body>
    </html>
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="child">
    <div style="padding-left: {level * 20}px">
      <xsl:text>-</xsl:text>
      <xsl:value-of select="modifier"/>
    </div>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
