Example 1
Suppose you have an XML file called "persons.xml":
<persons>
<person name="Tarzan" id="050676"/>
<person name="Donald" id="070754"/>
<person name="Dolly" id="231256"/>
</persons>
|
You can define a key in an XSL file like this:
<xsl:key name="preg" match="person" use="@id"/>
|
To find the person with id="050676", write (in the XSL file):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:key name="preg" match="person" use="@id"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<xsl:for-each select="key('preg','050676')">
<p>
Id: <xsl:value-of select="@id"/><br />
Name: <xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
</p>
</xsl:for-each>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
