Thread: How can I get the SKU and use that in a line of <iframe> code?

I want to dynamically yield something like this:

<iframe src="/descriptions/productspecs/FL005.html" frameborder="0" SCROLLING="NO" HEIGHT="550" WIDTH="600"></iframe>

I don't want to use the built-in product specs function.

I'd like to have this line in my XML package so I can insert an iframe on the page consisting of an html page that is named the product's SKU + .html

Question being.... How do I get the "<iframe src=/descriptions/productspecs/" + SKU + ".html frameborder="0" SCROLLING="NO" HEIGHT="550" WIDTH="600"></iframe>" to be generated within the XML package.

macecase,

There are a couple of ways to embed a dynamic value into your src attribute tag. The method I prefer, is using the xsl attribute tag. Here is an example of how I would include the SKU value in the src tag:

Code:

<iframe frameborder="0" SCROLLING="NO" HEIGHT="550" WIDTH="600">
<xsl:attribute name="src">
          <xsl:value-of select="concat('/descriptions/productspecs/',SKU,'.html')"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</iframe>

Replace "SKU", if necessary, with the appropriate value reference.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Ok, thank! That helps a lot.

Hi, does this work on all html tags?

I cannot get the following to work:

Code:

<a>Request Quote
     <xsl:attribute name="href">
          <xsl:value-of select="concat('quote.aspx?ID=',SKU)" />
     </xsl:attribute>
</a>

It keeps displaying the "Unable to Process Request" message.

Thanks,

ok nm, got it to work...

the xsl tag needs to immediately follow the html tag like so...

Code:

<a>
     <xsl:attribute name="href">
          <xsl:value-of select="concat('quote.aspx?ID=',SKU)" />
     </xsl:attribute>Request Quote
</a>

So, with this calling the iframe file, how do I check and handle it if it doesn't exist?

I'd like to check and see if that file exists that I'm trying to iframe... If not, do something else.... Maybe show another iframe file (standard, generic "does not exist") or something.

Thanks!

Code:

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="aspdnsf:FileExists(concat('/descriptions/productspecs/', SKU, '.html')) = 'true'">
<!-- It works! show the iframe here -->
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<!-- not found! show a default something here -->
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
