xsl template for comma separated data

[kuolung]

hello, please help !!!! I'm new to xml and xsl.
i have the data in comma delimited list:

<dispositionMethod>ST,DE,OT</dispositionMethod>

the data are not always in this order, however, i want to parse each field to something as for option checkbox list in my XSL with output:

match ST
output "storage"
match DE
output "destruction"
match OT
output "other"
and so on...

Thanks so much in advance !!!!

Look here for the LineFeedToBr example. It has the basic technique for using recursion to scan across a string, looking for a specific character. Your requirement differs only in what you do with the string fragments as they are produced.

If you are using XSL 2.0 or extensions you can use the tokenize function:

<xsl:for-each select="tokenize(dispositionMethod, ',')">
  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test=". = 'ST'">.....</xsl:when>
    .....
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>

Otherwise you have to use a recursive template.
