[RESOLVED] XSLT v 1.0: Function

**OneSource** · Oct 20th, 2005, 11:04 AM

I'm new to XSLT and haven't been able to figure out a simple way to do this.

I want to create a function (subroutine, procedure, whatever you want to call it ... ) for code reusability. What's the best way to do this?

Please keep in mind that I'm using version 1 of XSLT.

Thanks!

I think templates might be whatyour looking for.

thanks. I'm already using

VB Code:

<xsl:template match= ... >

in my stylesheet. Are you referring to something different? Could you (or anyone else) please provide a simple example of code reuse (with templates or otherwise)?

Here is an example of using a template to create a label with a text box.
Now while the template is within the same stylesheet it could be placed anywhere and called from any other stylesheet you want.

Code:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
  <html>
  <body>
    <table border="0">
    <xsl:for-each select="gui/textbox">
    <tr>
      <td>
        <xsl:call-template name="lbltextbox">
          <xsl:with-param name="txtlabel"><xsl:value-of select="lbl"/></xsl:with-param>
          <xsl:with-param name="txtcontent"><xsl:value-of select="desc"/></xsl:with-param>
        </xsl:call-template>
      </td>
    </tr>
    </xsl:for-each>
    </table>
  </body>
  </html>
</xsl:template>

<!-- this is the reusable part -->
<xsl:template name="lbltextbox">
  <xsl:param name="txtlabel"/>
  <xsl:param name="txtcontent"/>
  <label><xsl:value-of select="$txtlabel"/></label>
  <input type="text">
    <xsl:attribute name="value">
      <xsl:value-of select="$txtcontent"/>
      </xsl:attribute>
  </input>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1250"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="sample.xsl"?>
<gui>
 <textbox>
  <lbl>item1</lbl>
  <desc>1.50</desc>
 </textbox>
 <textbox>
  <lbl>item2</lbl>
  <desc>3.50</desc>
 </textbox>
 </gui>
