While trying to parse the below xml,
<root>
<SelectValue>One</SelectValue> <!-- Tends to Vary -->
<SubRoot> <!-- Iterate elements inside it using [ SelectValue] -->
<One>One</One>
<Two>Two</Two>
<Three>Three</Three>
</SubRoot>
</root>
with below xsl,
<xsl:template match="/root">
<xsl:variable name="columns" select="SelectValue"/>
<xsl:for-each select="SubRoot"> -->
<tr>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="SubRoot/@*[local-name()=$columns]"/>
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
Retrieves an empty html-tags while i expect something like below,
<table>
<thead>
<th>One</th>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>one</td>
</tr>
<tbody>
</table>
I am trying to pass the value inside <SelectValue> to get the nodes inside <SubRoot>
Any thoughts here ?
I do not recognize the error message you quote (it doesn't even seem to be English), but I do get an error when trying to run your code. The reason is that your variable name is invalid; you need to change:
<xsl:variable name="$columns" select="..."/>
to:
<xsl:variable name="columns" select="..."/>
Use the $ prefix when referring to the variable, not when defining it.
Note also that an XPath expression beginning with a /is an absolute path, starting at the root node. Therefore none of your select expressions - with the exception of /root - will select anything. I am guessing you are trying to do something like:
<xsl:template match="/root">
<xsl:variable name="columns" select="SelectValue"/>
<tr>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="SubRoot/*[local-name()=$columns]"/>
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
which given your input example will return:
<tr>
<td>One</td>
</tr>
Within xsl:for-each select="SubRoot", the SubRoot is the context node, so you should not be selecting down to a further SubRoot. So you want
<xsl:for-each select="SubRoot">
<tr>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="@*[local-name()=$columns]"/>
</td>
</tr>
