[Hypercontent-users] creating a list from a sitemap.xml file

[Carl B. <C.P...@hu...>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to create a bulleted list from my sitemap.xml file What I 
want it to do is format the list as follows. This is then formatted by 
css as you'll see on http://www.hull.ac.uk which is not auto generated 
at the moment.
<ul id="p7PMnav">
<li><a href="" class="p7PMtrg" accesskey="c"><span 
class="under">C</span>ourses</a>
            <ul>
                <li><a href="">A-Z listing</a></li>
                <li><a href="">Admissions advice</a></li>
                <li><a href="">Costs</a>
                    <ul>
                        <li><a href="">Bursaries and scholarships</a></li>
                          <li><a href="">Course costs</a></li>
                    </ul>
                </li>
                <li><a href="">Courses introduction</a></li>
                <li><a href="">Open days/Visits</a></li>
                <li><a href="">Order prospectus</a>
                    <ul>
                        <li><a href="">Undergraduate</a></li>
                          <li><a href="">Postgraduate</a></li>
                        <li><a href="">Part-time</a></li>
                    </ul>
                </li>
            </ul>
</li>
</ul>

I can easily create a list like
<ul>
    <li>
    </li>
</ul>

It's the lower down levels that I'm having problems with.  I guess I 
need to check if there are any children and then if so create them 
within the <li> tag.  Has anyone done this or have any idea how to do it.

The code I have so far is:

<div id="topnav">
   <ul id="p7PMnav">
<xsl:call-template name = "top-navigation"/>
</ul>
</div>

 <xsl:template name = "top-navigation">
      <xsl:for-each select = "$navigation/nav-item">
            <xsl:for-each select = ". | nav-item">
             <xsl:call-template name = "navigation-drop"/>
           </xsl:for-each>
        </xsl:for-each>
     </xsl:template>

<xsl:template name = "navigation-drop">
        <xsl:param name = "nav-item" select = "."/>
       
       <li> <a><xsl:attribute name = "href">
            <xsl:choose>
                <xsl:when test = "starts-with($nav-item/@location,'/')">
                    <xsl:value-of select = 
"concat($baseurl,$nav-item/@base,'.html')"/>
                </xsl:when>

                <xsl:otherwise>
                    <xsl:value-of select = "$nav-item/@location"/>
                </xsl:otherwise>
            </xsl:choose>
        </xsl:attribute>

        <xsl:if test = "$nav-item/@target">
            <xsl:attribute name = "target">
                <xsl:value-of select = "$nav-item/@target"/>
            </xsl:attribute>
        </xsl:if>

        <xsl:value-of select = "$nav-item/@label"/> </a> </li>
       

Many Thanks
Carl
