Adding a value to an input box with XSL
The XSL attribute has a name that refers to an attribute in the html tag that it follows. In this case, value. The content within the the xsl tags will be assigned to that attribute.
1 2 <input type="text" name="sharesLook" onclick="this.value=''" > 3 <xsl:attribute name="value">Content</xsl:attribute> 4 5 will output 6 7 <input type="text" value-"Content" name="sharesLook" onclick="this.value=''" >
Simple xsl test position statement for constraining number of records
This statement will constrain the number of records displayed to 4
1 2 <xsl:if test="position() < 4"> 3 Records 4 </xsl:if>
Simple XSL When statement
Checks to see if 'Stuff' has returned any data. If not then displays 'No data available'. If 'Stuff' has returned data then moves onto otherwise. Use <xsl:when test="stuff = !'' "> to swap the when around.
1 2 <xsl:choose> 3 <xsl:when test="stuff = '' "> 4 <div>No data available</div> 5 </xsl:when> 6 <xsl:otherwise> 7 <div><xsl:value-of select="stuff_alternative"/></div> 8 </xsl:otherwise> 9 </xsl:choose>
Formatting the time in XSLT
This takes the known variables of hour and min, in 24 hour clock format, and turns it in to 12 hour am/pm format.
1 2 <xsl:choose> 3 <xsl:when test="hour < 12"><xsl:value-of select="hour" />:<xsl:value-of select="format-number(min,'00')" /> AM</xsl:when> 4 <xsl:when test="hour = 12"><xsl:value-of select="hour" />:<xsl:value-of select="format-number(min,'00')" /> PM</xsl:when> 5 <xsl:when test="hour > 12"><xsl:value-of select="hour - 12" />:<xsl:value-of select="format-number(min,'00')" /> PM</xsl:when> 6 </xsl:choose>
xsl variable with firefox workaround
xsl variable with firefox workaround. This instance takes a previously defined width as ($Width) 255px and applies it to a div.
1 2 <xsl:variable name="x">;width:<xsl:value-of select="($Width) - 10"/>px</xsl:variable> 3 <!-- same variable for Firefox --> 4 <xsl:variable name="y">width:<xsl:value-of select="($Width) - 15"/>px!important</xsl:variable> 5 6 <div id="z> 7 <xsl:attribute name="style"> 8 <xsl:value-of select="$y" /> 9 <xsl:value-of select="$x" /> 10 </xsl:attribute> 11 </div> 12 13 The resulting HTML will look like this: 14 15 <div id="z" style="width:240px!important;width:245px">
