XSL: Grouping of child elements
Hi.
I have an XML file along the lines of the following construction:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<filesys>
<folder name="folder 1" id="1">
<file name="File1" id="1" />
<folder name="sub 1" id="1" />
</folder>
<folder name="folder 2" id="2">
<folder name="sub 2" id="1" />
<folder name="sub 3" id="2" />
</folder>
<file name="file 2" id="2" />
<file name="file 3" id="3" />
</filesys>
Now, what I want to do is output the following information:
Code:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<dl>
<dt>Folders</dt>
<dd>
<ul>
<li>folder 1</li>
<li>folder 2</li>
</ul>
</dd>
<dt>Files</dt>
<dd>
<ul>
<li>file 2</li>
<li>file 3</li>
</ul>
</dd>
</dl>
</body>
</html>
I need to do this using XSL.
Basically, I want to output only the direct child elements of the current folder/selected/root item, in this case <filesys>.
Using XPath, I might then pass the following nodeset:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<folder name="folder 1" id="1">
<file name="File1" id="1" />
<folder name="sub 1" id="1" />
</folder>
So the output would be:
Code:
Folders
sub 1
Files
File1
I've tried everything, but I just can't get this to work.
Please help!
