UTF-16 means that each character is 2 bytes. This is helpful for languages which have more than 255 characters. For other languages, UTF-8 should be used (1 byte, or 8 bits, per character).

this is happening because of the way you are specifying the transformation.
the code is guessing that you want UTF-16.

check your <xsl:output encoding=""/>

I made an XML report, but the problem is that some of the report viewers are using non-IE browsers, which usually don't understand XML. Is there a way to pre-parse/transform XML into HTML? There must be, because the XML is turned into HTML before being displayed in the browser.

If you write an XSLT style sheet you can use the MSXML (or most other) DOM to perform the transformation for you using DOMDocument::transformNode method...

Open the XML doc in Internet Explorer. Select-all, then copy. Open up Frontpage, then paste. Simple, huh?

Did you install the MSXML 4 SDK ? (see MS platform SDK site for the update).
Once installed, you still need to add the path to the msxml2.lib file in either your project settings (additional library path), or your VisualStudio general directories (tools / options / directories).

Selection based on more than one condition

Hi.

I have data in XML format and I use XslTransform.Transform to transform the data to a presentable form with an xsl-file. At one location I have used for instance
<xsl:apply-templates select="//TermR[termid=$intd]"/> to select what TermR data to use, where $intd is some variable. If I want to use two conditions, for example I only want to use TermR data where termid=$intd AND term2=$intp , is this possible? How do I write the selection in my xsl-code?

Thanks

You should be able to use it just like that:

<xsl:if test="termid=$intd AND term2=$intp">

Thanks. Why did I not think of the simplest solution? For the select case the following turned out to work:
<xsl:apply-templates select="//TermR[termid=$intd][term2=$intp]"/>
i.e. just adding up the conditions.

XSL tag matching

J. Dunlap7-May-03 10:03

7-May-03 10:03

XSL

I'm making some output be bold only if a certain condition is true:

<xsl:if test="test"><b></xsl:if>

Now the problem is, all end tags must directly match up with their start tags (i.e. you can't do "" - you have to do ""). But I'm wanting the "" tag only to be outputted only if the test condition is true. Short of having seperate block for each combination of , , , etc, how do I do it?

I've thought of using script to concatenate a :

function GetTag(text)
	GetTag=Chr(60) + text + Chr(62)
end function

Or can someone show me a better way?

The 'politically correct' way is probably to use the xsl:element tag e.g.

<xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test="test">
    <xsl:element name="b">
      Your Content
    </xsl:element>
  </xsl:when>
  <xsl:otherwise>
    Your Content
  </xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

This is easy enough if your content is in another rule or a function or something - not so easy otherwise...but it does make sure you've got all tags paired correctly.

Yep. You can bet I immediately looked up <xsl:element> and its related tags on MSDN as soon as I saw this! Thanks again!

an even better way would be (xhtml & css2):

<span><br />
   <xsl:if test="test"><br />
      <xsl:attribute name="style">font-weight: bold</xsl:attribute><br />
   </xsl:if><br />
   Your Content<br />
</span>

hope this helps
