XML XSL & hidden Form Fields

[frankki]

Hi All

I have no clue about XSL but it seems I will not be able to work aorund them...

Can someone of you please help me with a simple basic sample of an xsl that will display a rss feed but will put them in hidden form fields?

title, link description

But now comes the real problem:
as every input field should have its own name, how do I workaorund this?

Also: Could the items be sortable by date and/or category?

Sorry, I know this is quite a bit, and I read through most forums but I am not able to put this stuiff together in one file...

ANYONE willing to help please?

I'm not sure XSLT can sort your data for you (but I'm by no means an expert in this area, so I could be wrong). It seems like something that might be more in the realm of some server-side programming: parse the XML data into an array, then use the scripting language's array functions to sort it, then output it as desired.

The tool for this is probably a PHP5 module called simpleXML with which you can easily navigate the tree structure.
XSL only works inherently on IE, which is a bummer, so use NogDogs advice and use server-side processing

Thanks for your feedback but unfortunately I am looking for what I posted :)
I need simple xsl, no server side processing asp, aspx or php...

Any feedback on how to create the xsl as described is welcomed :)
