XML radio buttons
I have a problem in displaying the value of radio button in XSL.
My code goes like:
************XML************
<test>
<radio1>True</radio1>
<radio2>False</radio2>
</test>
***********XSL FILE***********
<xsl:template match="/">
<input type="radio" name="r1">
<input type="radio" name="r2">
<xsl:attribute name="checked">
<xsl:value-of select="radio1"/>
<xsl:value-of select="radio2"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</input>
</input>
</xsl:template>
The question is if the value of radio buttons is true/false it shod take
the value into the radio buttons.
Any help appreciated

vani,
ur xml (don't mind) doesn't look good in first place
it shud be
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="radio.xsl"?>
<radios>
<radio>true</radio>
<radio>false</radio>
</radios>
Though the MSDN docs say, <INPUT type="radio" checked=false/true> is the
syntax, but I've seen "checked" attrib doesn't contain any value in Tag declaration.
So only <Input type="radio" checked> will work.
In ur case, u have xml data as the decision parameter for the checked/unchecked
nature (true/false). so u can try this
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl" language="VBScript">
<xsl:template match="/">
<HTML>
<BODY>
<xsl:for-each select="radios/radio">
<input type="radio">
<xsl:if expr="me.nodeTypedValue">
<xsl:attribute name="checked" />
</xsl:if>
</input>
</xsl:for-each>
</BODY>
</HTML>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
this works.

I'm not up to speed on the way radio buttons work in HTML but treating it
as a pure XSL problem the following seems to work:
XML: as above
***********XSL FILE***********
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="radio1">
<input type="radio" name="r1">
<xsl:attribute name="checked">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:attribute>
</input>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="radio2">
<input type="radio" name="r2">
<xsl:attribute name="checked">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:attribute>
</input>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I'm new to XSL so I'm not sure how stylistically elegant this is. However
it seems to do the job, I hope it helps.

Vani:
On working with XML given by Rohit You can also use thefollowing XSL:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl" language="VBScript">
<xsl:template match="/">
<HTML>
<BODY>
<xsl:for-each select="radios/radio">
<input type="radio">
<xsl:attribute name="checked" />
<xsl:value-of select='.'/>
</xsl:attribute>
</input>
</xsl:for-each>
I hope it will be a good alternate.
Manish.
</BODY>
</HTML>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
