I need to modify my XSLT code for a different output result. I need to output a table with the sigle, number of students and average.
Here's my XML code :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="class.xsl" type="text/xsl" ?>
<university>
<student><sname>Charlie Parker</name>
<course sigle="INF8430" note="69" />
<course sigle="INF1030" note="65" />
<course sigle="INF1230" note="73" /></student>
<student><name>Miles Davis</name>
<course sigle="INF8430" note="65" />
<course sigle="INF1030" note="77" />
<course sigle="INF1230" note="83" /></student>
<student><name>John Coltrane</name>
<course sigle="INF9430" note="24" />
<course sigle="INF1030" note="64" />
<course sigle="INF1230" note="56" /></student>
<student><name>Charles Mingus</name>
<course sigle="INF8430" note="34" />
<course sigle="INF1230" note="89" /></student>
</university>
Here's my XSLT Code so far :
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="/university">
<html>
<body>
<table border="1">
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Average</th>
</tr>
<xsl:for-each select="student">
<xsl:sort select="substring-after(name, ' ')"/>
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="name" /></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="sum(course/#note) div count(course)"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Here's what the output should look like :
Thanks a lot for your help!
Your input document is not well-formed, please be careful when posting questions on Stackoverflow.
The standard approach to identify elements that are unique with respect to their content or one of their attributes is to use a key. The best explanation of this is still on Jeni Tennison's web page.
You could also consider using the round() function if there's too much precision in the average column.

Besides, if you are in charge of designing this XML document, note that some of the names in it are either incomprehensible ("sigle") or inappropriate given the context ("note"). Proper terms would be "signature" and "grade", or "score".

Obviously I'm doing something wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated.
There are two problems with your XSLT.
Firstly, when you start an XPath expression with / then this represents the top-level document node, and so the search will be relative to that, and not to the node you are currently positioned on.
So instead of doing this:
<xsl:value-of select="/Masterdata/Brand"/>
Do this:
<xsl:value-of select="Masterdata/Brand"/>
Having said that, this leads on to the second issue. XML and XSLT are case sensitive. In your XML you use MasterData, but in your XSLT you refer to Masterdata. So, the expression should actually be like this:
<xsl:value-of select="MasterData/Brand"/>
Try this XSLT:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<table border="1">
<tr bgcolor="#e3e3e3">
<th>Brand</th>
<th>Product Code</th>
<th>Model D</th>
<th>Cutlery Shelves</th>
</tr>
<xsl:for-each select="EEExport/Navigation/Navigation/Navigation[#Name='Dishwasher']/Product">
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="MasterData/Brand"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="MasterData/ProductCode"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="Containers/Container/Attribute[#Name='ModelD']"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="Containers/Container/Attribute[#Name='CutleryShelves']"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>

Hello I was struggling with this for the past days and I could not find a good answer nor solution. I have an XML file with a list of objects like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<LineItems>
<TableName>Lines</TableName>
<TableTerm>Lines</TableTerm>
<LineItems>
<Class>A Class</Class>
</LineItems>
<LineItems>
<Number>1234</Number>
</LineItems>
<LineItems>
<Description>G</Description>
</LineItems>
<LineItems>
<Class>B Class</Class>
</LineItems>
<LineItems>
<Number>5678</Number>
</LineItems>
<LineItems>
<Description>F</Description>
</LineItems>
<ColumnMetadata>
<Name>Class</Name>
<Term>Class</Term>
</ColumnMetadata>
<ColumnMetadata>
<Name>Number</Name>
<Term>No</Term>
</ColumnMetadata>
<ColumnMetadata>
<Name>Description</Name>
<Term>Description</Term>
</ColumnMetadata>
</LineItems>
I am applying the following transformaiton:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<xsl:variable name="columns" select="count(LineItems/ColumnMetadata)" />
<xsl:variable name="items" select="count(LineItems/LineItems)" />
<xsl:variable name="rows" select="$items div $columns" />
<table border="1">
<thead >
<tr bgcolor="#9acd32">
<xsl:for-each select="LineItems/ColumnMetadata">
<th style="padding: .3em 0;">
<xsl:value-of select="Term" />
</th>
</xsl:for-each>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody style="text-align: center;">
<xsl:for-each select="(//LineItems)[position()<=$rows]">
<xsl:variable name="i" select="position() - 1"/>
<tr>
<xsl:for-each select="(//*)[position()<=$columns]">
<xsl:variable name="j" select="position()+($columns*$i)"/>
<td style="padding: .3em 0;">
<xsl:value-of select="LineItems/LineItems[$j]" />
</td>
</xsl:for-each>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Finally the desire output for this case would be:
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Class</th>
<th>No</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>A Class</td>
<td>1234</td>
<td>G</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>B Class</td>
<td>5678</td>
<td>F</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
This case is a case of MxN table, I cna know how many columns from nodes. So, to sumarise:
The actual list that have to be transformed as a table is all inside root <LineItems>.
I don't know how many items (rows) I am going to get, but I can calculate them dividing amount of <LineItems> nodes ($items) by amount of <ColumnMetadata> nodes ($columns)
Nodes like <Class>, <Number> and <Description>, are columns in table, but they can have other names, they are dynamic and can be 5, 6... Many columns.
If I transform above XML with XSL in online tools I only get the header row of the table (and inspecting HTML, I can see 2 rows for 2 items, but empty). If I use Visual Studio transformation tool, I not only get header row, I also get first 2 columns of table (in this example Class values) but not the values in the rest of them. I really don't understand what is going on and why do I get different results using different tools.
Thanks in advance
lineitmes folllow a regular pattern.
Then I believe it could be simply:
XSLT 1.0

</xsl:for-each>

Output:
Current output [wrong]:
This script gives output without column name
"id". Some "version" column value added in "id(not visible)" column as
there is no attribute name id in node. eg. MS node has version
attribute only hence output result added version info in "id" column.
Please go through output once, possibly save and check in html for proper understanding.

If you are looking to output one column for each possible attribute name, and not restrict it to just id and version, then (in XSLT 1.0) you could make use of a technique called Muenchian Grouping to get the distinct attribute names.
First define a key to look up the attributes by their name
<xsl:key name="columns" match="#*" use="local-name()" />
Then, to get the distinct ones (or rather, get the first occurrence of each distinct name), you can define a variable like so
<xsl:variable name="columns" select="//#*[generate-id() = generate-id(key('columns', local-name())[1])]" />
Then, to output the column headers, you can just iterate over this variable
<xsl:for-each select="$columns">
<xsl:sort select="local-name()" />
<td><xsl:value-of select="local-name()" /></td>
</xsl:for-each>
For each row, you would take a similar approach. Assuming you were positioned on a child element, you could first define a variable that contains the attributes of the current element. Then you would iterate over the columns variable again, and output the value of the corresponding attribute for the current element
<xsl:variable name="attributes" select="#*" />
<xsl:for-each select="$columns">
<xsl:sort select="local-name()" />
<td><xsl:value-of select="$attributes[local-name() = local-name(current())]" /></td>
</xsl:for-each>
Try this XSLT
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes" />
<xsl:key name="columns" match="#*" use="local-name()" />
<xsl:variable name="columns" select="//#*[generate-id() = generate-id(key('columns', local-name())[1])]" />
<xsl:template match="Software">
<table>
<tr>
<td>Software</td>
<xsl:for-each select="$columns">
<xsl:sort select="local-name()" />
<td><xsl:value-of select="local-name()" /></td>
</xsl:for-each>
</tr>
<xsl:apply-templates select="*" />
</table>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Software/*">
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="local-name()" /></td>
<xsl:variable name="attributes" select="#*" />
<xsl:for-each select="$columns">
<xsl:sort select="local-name()" />
<td><xsl:value-of select="$attributes[local-name() = local-name(current())]" /></td>
</xsl:for-each>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
This should output the following
<table>
<tr>
<td>Software</td>
<td>id</td>
<td>version</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>MS</td>
<td/>
<td>5.2.3.1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Java</td>
<td/>
<td>5.1.0.29</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Oracle</td>
<td>A</td>
<td>1.0.1.11</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>SQL</td>
<td>P</td>
<td>1.0.1.11</td>
</tr>
</table>
Note, for brevity, I have not included code to output "Not exists" in the case where the attribute does not exist. But it should be simple enough to add a check for this. (Just store the value in a variable, and use an xsl:choose)
EDIT: If you want to restrict the attributes to specifically be for Software elements too, try changing the key to this:
<xsl:key name="columns" match="Software/*/#*" use="local-name()" />
Hummm, I have tried to fix the HTML issue and the problem you are facing.
This is a bit mannual, but can achieve your requirement. Here is the XSL:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt" exclude-result-prefixes="msxsl">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<table>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td>id</td>
<xsl:for-each select="//*[1]">
<xsl:for-each select="#*">
<td><xsl:value-of select="name()"/></td>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>
</tr>
<xsl:for-each select="//*">
<xsl:if test="position() > 1">
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="local-name()"/> ::</td>
<td>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="#id"><xsl:value-of select="#id"/></xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>Not Exist</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</td>
<td>
<xsl:if test="#version"><xsl:value-of select="#version"/></xsl:if>
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Here is the output of it:
<table>
<tr>
<td/>
<td>id</td>
<td>version</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>MS ::</td>
<td>Not Exist</td>
<td>5.2.3.1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Java ::</td>

I have tested it on http://www.xslfiddle.net/
I'm brand new to markup languages and need to display an HTML table, convert it to XML then display it using XSL looking the same as the HTML. Here's a bit of the HTML table:
<table border="1"
cellpadding="5"
summary="Obesity and other statistics">
<tr>
<th>State</th>
<th>Obese adults</th>
<th>Obese children and adolescents</th>
<th>Median Household Income</th>
<th>H.S Graduation rate</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Mississippi</td>
<td>34.4%</td>
<td>17.8%</td>
<td>$36,919</td>
<td>80.4%</td>
</tr>
4 columns, and several rows with 1 title row. Has a summary (not necessary, can be removed for ease), cell padding and a border. Here's the start of the XML table:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="mg.xsl"?>
<data>
<columns>
<State>State</State>
<Obese_adults>Obese adults</Obese_adults>
<Obese_children_and_adolescents>Obese children and adolescents</Obese_children_and_adolescents>
<Median_Household_Income>Median Household Income</Median_Household_Income>
<H_S_Graduation_rate>H.S Graduation rate</H_S_Graduation_rate>
</columns>
<records>
<record>
<State>Mississippi</State>
<Obese_adults>34.4%</Obese_adults>
<Obese_children_and_adolescents>17.8%</Obese_children_and_adolescents>
<Median_Household_Income>$36,919</Median_Household_Income>
<H_S_Graduation_rate>80.4%</H_S_Graduation_rate>
</record>
That was converted following a guideline which may or may not be any good for what I'm trying to do. Couldn't find any clear explanation on what it all does or how to use it with the xsl either.
Here's what I have of the XSL
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">

<body>
<h2></h2>
<table border="1">

<xsl:for-each select="data/records/record">

<td><xsl:value-of select="Obese children and adolescents"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="Median Household Income"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="H.S Graduation rate"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
which was again formed following a template I found. I have an idea of what it's doing, but not what it's doing wrong and why it isn't working. I would appreciate some help, especially if I am far off of what is the correct way to go about doing this. Thanks
edit: error I'm getting is "Error loading stylesheet: XPath parse failure: operator expected:" by the way.
You have some small mistakes in ur XSLT here is the edited one of yours;

</xsl:for-each>

the output of this applied to your XML will be;

this how the HTML table must look Like:
If you did not find examples of transforming XML to HTML with XSLT, then you didn't look very hard. That's one of its primary motivations. Anyway, this should get you started:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:transform version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="node()|#*"/>
<xsl:template match="/Services">
<html>
<head>
<title>XSLT example</title>
</head>
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Service">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Operations">
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<td>Name</td>
<td>Description</td>
<td>Type</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</tbody>
</table>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Operaion"> <!-- [sic] -->
<xsl:variable name="service" select="ancestor::Service"/>
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="$service/Name"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="Name"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="$service/Category"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
Output on your (corrected) document (it was missing end tags):
<html>
<head>
<title>XSLT example</title>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<td>Name</td>
<td>Description</td>
<td>Type</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>ServiceName</td>
<td>HelloWorld</td>
<td>CatName</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>ServiceName</td>
<td>OP2name</td>
<td>CatName</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>ServiceName</td>
<td>Op3Name</td>
<td>CatName</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html>
