IE Client XSL

Using the following xml file with the xsl:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="test.xsl"?>
<resource>
<name>Doe, John</name>
 <year>
<month id="May">
<day id="050106"><start>Unavailable</start><stop>Unavailable</stop></day>
<day id="050206"><start>Unavailable</start><stop>Unavailable</stop></day>
<day id="050306"><start>07:00:00</start><stop>15:30:00</stop></day>
<day id="050406"><start>07:00:00</start><stop>15:30:00</stop></day>
<day id="050506"><start>07:00:00</start><stop>15:30:00</stop></day>
<day id="050606"><start>07:00:00</start><stop>15:30:00</stop></day>
<day id="050706"><start>Vacation</start><stop>Vacation</stop></day>
</month>
<month id="June">
<day id="060106"><start>Unavailable</start><stop>Unavailable</stop></day>
<day id="060206"><start>Unavailable</start><stop>Unavailable</stop></day>
<day id="060306"><start>07:00:00</start><stop>15:30:00</stop></day>
<day id="060406"><start>07:00:00</start><stop>15:30:00</stop></day>
<day id="060506"><start>07:00:00</start><stop>15:30:00</stop></day>
<day id="060606"><start>07:00:00</start><stop>15:30:00</stop></day>
<day id="060706"><start>Vacation</start><stop>Vacation</stop></day>
</month>
</year>
</resource>



I get the following (two lines of data not in a table format):

Doe, John UnavailableUnavailable UnavailableUnavailable 07:00:0015:30:00 07:00:0015:30:00 07:00:0015:30:00 07:00:0015:30:00 VacationVacation UnavailableUnavailable UnavailableUnavailable 07:00:0015:30:00 07:00:0015:30:00 07:00:0015:30:00 07:00:0015:30:00 VacationVacation

spotmoose,
> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="test.xsl"?>

well, you get the data, tags stripped, because the XSLT is not called
you have to correct the above line to expect a XSLT instead of a CSS

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="test.xsl"?>
will work

cheers

spotmoose,

I changed the last template and added a named template,
in order to normalise the Date

    <xsl:template match="day">
        <tr>
            <td>
                <xsl:call-template name="normaliseDate">
                    <xsl:with-param name="curDate" select="@id"/>
                </xsl:call-template>
            </td>
            <td><xsl:value-of select="start"/></td>
            <td><xsl:value-of select="stop"/></td>
        </tr>
    </xsl:template>
   
    <xsl:template name="normaliseDate">
        <xsl:param name="curDate"/>
        <xsl:text>20</xsl:text>
        <xsl:value-of select="substring($curDate, 5,2)"/>
        <xsl:text>-</xsl:text>
        <xsl:value-of select="substring($curDate, 1,2)"/>
        <xsl:text>-</xsl:text>
        <xsl:value-of select="substring($curDate, 3,2)"/>
    </xsl:template>

sorry for the problem I induced

works and adjusted table to have border.  Thanks.  The links to the date part of the question would be appreciated.

However, if you can't find the links is there a way to make the date look like 05/01/06  will be just as good for what I need

Works!

I would like somthing similiar to Monday, May 01, 2006

But beggar can't be choosy!

I will close the quest and give you the points.   However, if you can provide any links or simliar format let me know.

Great help and support.  Quick and allowed me to make a mistake without hammering me.

spotmoose,
> date look like 05/01/06

change the named template into

   <xsl:template name="normaliseDate">
        <xsl:param name="curDate"/>
        <xsl:value-of select="substring($curDate, 1,2)"/>
        <xsl:text>/</xsl:text>
        <xsl:value-of select="substring($curDate, 3,2)"/>
        <xsl:text>/</xsl:text>
        <xsl:value-of select="substring($curDate, 5,2)"/>
    </xsl:template>

There is no standard functionality in XSLT1.0 to get the weekday of a certain date for example
(well you can plug in a template that does the entire calculation, with leap years and all that)
So it requires some workarounds to get there (and some are not XSLT processor independent)

if you want to see what it takes,
you can look at www.exslt.org in the dates section
exslt is a standardisation effort for xslt extensions

here is an answer I gave to an earlier question that uses a template from exslt

cheers

Thanks!  I really appreciate the help.

you are welcome

it just occurs to me that I forgot to paste the URL of the question
here it is
