Creating a select box and selecting one or more items

Summary This snippet describes how to build an HTML select box with select items in XSLT.

A common question: I want to create a listbox in an HTML page and I need to make one or more entries pre-selected. In HTML I would need to add a SELECTED word to the tag, but the XML parser will not accept in my code.

The trick is to give an arbitrary value to the SELECTED attribute. I may even be . Note that even adding SELECTED=false will select the entry.

Additional information
<SELECT > <xsl:attribute name="name">myBox</xsl:attribute> <xsl:for-each select="option"> <OPTION> <xsl:if test="$selected-values/text() = attribute::id"> <xsl:attribute name="SELECTED"/> </xsl:if> <xsl:attribute name="value"> <xsl:value-of select="@id"/> </xsl:attribute> <xsl:value-of select="@name"/> </OPTION> </xsl:for-each> </SELECT>

Further additional information

CNN.com. </text> <value>4</value> </question> <question id="2" listref="colors" style="checkbox"> <text>What are your favorite colors?</text> <value>2</value> <value>4</value> </question> </questions> <answer-lists> <list name="colors"> <option id="1" name="red" /> <option id="2" name="yellow" /> <option id="3" name="green" /> <option id="4" name="red" /> <option id="5" name="red" /> </list> <list name="agree"> <option id="1" name="strongly disagree" /> <option id="2" name="disagree" /> <option id="3" name="not sure" /> <option id="4" name="agree" /> <option id="5" name="strongly agree" /> </list> </answer-lists> </questionaire>
