    Populate form value with nodeName

    Hi,

    What is the correct way to populate the "value" of a hidden form field with the current Node name?

     

        <input id="element_2" name="element_2" value="@nodeName" size="30" class="validate[optional]" type="hidden" />

    Thanks!

    Amir

    Hi Amir,

    That's actually close to Razor syntax :-)

    No, seriously, you just need to wrap a couple of curlies around it:

    <input id="..." name="..." value="{@nodeName}" size="..." />

    If you're inside the root template (match="/") you'll need $currentPage as well:

    <input value="{$currentPage/@nodeName}" />

    Thank you Chriztian!

    I also found that you can do it this way:

     

    <xsl:attribute name="value">
          <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/><xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/@nodeName" />
       </xsl:attribute>

    You're absolutely right - though it's clunkier, it has its use when you don't know the name of the attribute you're creating, e.g.:

    <a href="#">
    <xsl:attribute name="data-{keyName}">
        <xsl:value-of select="$queryValue" />
    </xsl:attribute>
</a>

    - or if you need to set or override an attribute only when a certain condition is met:

    <li>
    <!-- Only add class on uneven nodes -->
    <xsl:if test="position() mod 2 = 1">
        <xsl:attribute name="class">odd</xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:if>
    <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">
        <!-- Override the href on the Home node -->
        <xsl:if test="self::Home">
            <xsl:attribute name="href">/</xsl:attribute>
        </xsl:if>
    </a>
</li>
