    Drop Down List

    Hi guys,

     

    I made an XSLT from changeable source and thus want to pull data from a node but i would like to use a drop down list to that user can choose what they want to view lets say " Categories".

    My question is how to i get to populate the data ins a drop down list.

    ok so lets say you are in the page of "categories" and all your child nodes are categories

    <select>
    <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/Category">
    <option><xsl:value-of select="@nodeName" /></option>
    </xsl:for-each>
    </select>

    is that anwser your question?

    I gave this a shot

     

    <xsl:for-each select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById($source)/* [@isDoc and string(umbracoNaviHide) != '1']">
     
        <option value="{@id}"><xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/> </option>
     
    </xsl:for-each>

     

    The drop down is populating the content as well

    Can i ask you why you used this code though??

     

        <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/Category">
            <option value="{@id}"><xsl:value-of select="@nodeName" /></option>
        </xsl:for-each>

    sure you can,
    lets say this is your website

    Root
         Home
               Categories
                      Category 1
                      Category 2
                      Category 3

    you are currently on the page of http://nameofwebserver.com/Categories/

    the currentPage variable points to "Categories" page
    you can use the currentPage variable to populate all the children of "Categories"

    if you are on the page http://nameofwebserver.com/
    the currentPage variable will point to "Home" node.

    one more important thing to mention
    the http:///nameofserver.com points to "Home" node because its the first node.

    if you have

    Root
       Home
          Categories
       Home2
          Categories

    the home2 link will be http://www.nameofserver.com/Home2
