Hi,
my cgi produces an xml file for each record in each table of our
database. The structure of these xml files is the same regardless of
what table the item is in, but some of the element names are
different or have different attribute values:
<page TABLENAME="foo">
<edit>
[... different elements here ...]
<the_item TABLENAME="foo">
[... elements in here have different names..]
</the_item>
[... different elements here ...]
</edit>
</page>
for each record there are actually a number of pages (1 to display, 1
to edit, etc). I have found a way that I am happy with to make a
single xsl file that can handle all the records in all the tables for
the display pages. However, I am really struggling with the edit
pages.
I just can't figure out how to put the form element in to the edit
page so that the url is correct for each table.
<form method="post"
action="http://mydomain.com/my.cgi?update_TABLENAME">
My entire stylesheet is below. I would be most grateful for any suggestions.
cheers
Jo
