Rename attributes and elements

There are several ways to get the desired output.
Using XML DOM could be appropriate, but depending on your application language the implementation can differ.
However, I recommend to use XSL.
This is very simple and takes 30 min. to learn. See this link.

I tried to implement this using "for each" and "attribute-set" (for each element to change their names...), but I get an error "unexpected child", it points to attribute-set...

Thats what I wrote:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:styleshe et version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http ://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" indent="yes" />

<xsl:attribut e-set name="catsSet">
<xsl:attribut e name="color2">@ color</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="pets/cats/*">
<xsl:element name="misus1" use-attribute-sets="catsSet"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

But I dont get the value of color attribute (black, red), its printed "@color". How can I get it?

**dorinbogdan** · Mar 21 '07, 01:04 PM

Since the problem was solved I'll close the thread.

can you elaborate? I am trying to create new DIVs from XML and need to set the id attribute of the DIVs from an id attribute of the XML elemtens.

I have managed to set the style attributes of DIVs using attribute-set (simple string) but cannot load in the @id part. I think this is what you were trying to do.

Can you help me?

Welcome to TheScripts TSDN...

Please post your XSL code, and part of XML.

Thanks,
Dorin.

**mjmj1059** · Apr 13 '07, 01:40 PM

So, I am trying to do the following (or similar).

Code:

   <xsl:attribute-set name="divs">
      <xsl:attribute name="id"><xsl:value-of select="@id" /></xsl:attribute>
      <xsl:attribute name="style">position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;overflow:auto;visibility:hidden;</xsl:attribute>
   </xsl:attribute-set>

OR

Code:

<xsl:attribute name="id">@id</xsl:attribute>

with the command:

Code:

<xsl:element name="div" use-attribute-sets="divs"></xsl:element>

based on the XML

Code:

<page id="contact" visibility="show">
            <heading>Contact</heading>
            <content>
                     <paragraph></paragraph>
            </content>
      </page>

**dorinbogdan** · Apr 13 '07, 01:51 PM

Try with {@id} as in:

Code:

<xsl:attribute name="id">{@id}</xsl:attribute>

If not working, please post much XSL code needed to test with.

**mjmj1059** · Apr 13 '07, 10:15 PM

No, it didn't work either. Here is the XSL file.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

   <xsl:attribute-set name="divs">
      <xsl:attribute name="id">{@id}</xsl:attribute>
      <xsl:attribute name="style">position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;overflow:auto;visibility:hidden;</xsl:attribute>
   </xsl:attribute-set>

   <xsl:template match="/">
      <html>

                 alert(document.getElementById("home").style.height);
              }
           </script>
           <style type="text/css">

I could not test due to some xml errors, maybe not had enough XML data.

I would try to define the id attribute right within the xsl:element, for instance
[html]<xsl:attribut e-set name="divs">
<xsl:attribut e name="style">po sition........" </xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>[/html]
......
and then:[html]<xsl:element name="div" id="{@id}" use-attribute-sets="divs">[/html]
