I need some assistance to compare a string value of an node before deciding on what child element/attribute to extract from. Here are the detail as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html (View Source for full doctype...)>
- <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:html="http://www.w3..org/1999/xhtml">
- <head>
- <body
........
- <div id="container">
+ <div id="header">
<div id="postmark" />
- <div id="content">
+ <div id="as1">
.......
<h1>Employee Detail</h1>
- <p>
<strong>Firstname:</strong>
<a shape="rect" title="Firstname of employee">John</a>
</p>
- <p>
<strong>Surname:</strong>
<a shape="rect" title="Lastname of employee">Smith</a>
</p>
- <p>
<strong>Date of birth:</strong>
12/01/1932
</p>
- <p>
<strong>Sex:</strong>
M
</p>
- <p>
<strong>Interest:</strong>
<br clear="none" />
Tennis
<br clear="none" />
Movie
<br clear="none" />
.....
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:ns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
exclude-result-prefixes="ns">
( 1 ) <xsl:template match="/">
( 2 ) <employee>
( 3 ) <xsl:for-each select="/ns:html/ns:body/ns:div[@id='content']/ns:p">
( 4 ) <xsl:value-of select="ns:strong"/>
( 5 ) <xsl:choose>
( 6 ) <xsl:when test="Firstname:">
( 7 ) <firstname><xsl:value-of select="."/></firstname>
( 8 ) </xsl:when>
( 9 ) <xsl:otherwise>
( 10 ) <firstname>Unknown</firstname>
( 11 ) </xsl:otherwise>
( 12 ) </xsl:choose>
( 13 ) </xsl:for-each>
( 14 ) </employee>
( 15 ) </xsl:template>
( 17 )
( 18 ) </xsl:stylesheet>
I have no problem with test="Firstname" (line 6) but the ":" appears to be a special character that needs additional syntax (possible escape character) to pick up "Firstname:" together.
The error message has something like: Invalid QName on line 6 of stylesheet....
Your assistance would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jack
