 XML referencing
I want to take my xml file, and convert it into an html file via XSLT/stylesheets.
To keep the size of my xml file down, I'd like to have something like this:
<goal>
<player playerid="2"/>
<goaltime>10:12</goaltime>
</goal>
<teamroster>
<player playerid="2">
<firstname>mike</firstname>
<lastname>jones</lastname>
</player>
<player playerid="3">
<firstname>jim</firstname>
<lastname>smith</lastname>
</player>
</teamroster>
Rather than this:
<goal>
<player playerid="2">
<firstname>mike</firstname>
<lastname>jones</lastname>
</player>
<goaltime>10:12</goaltime>
</goal>
<teamroster>
<player playerid="2">
<firstname>mike</firstname>
<lastname>jones</lastname>
</player>
<player playerid="3">
<firstname>jim</firstname>
<lastname>smith</lastname>
</player>
</teamroster>
I'd prefer not to duplicate all the player information each time I need to describe someone.
I want my final HTML file however to have the player name display with each goal, but within the <goal> element I am only including the playerid attribute there, and hoping that I can extract the name information by referencing the <player> element within the teamroster element with the same playerid attribute.
Is this possible, and how would it be done?
Thanks
