how to put a checkbox into an XML file?

[belen]

hello!
My doubt is that I need to put a checkbox into an XML file to make a tree whith the possibility of selecting a branch, and y don't know how to do it, because if I write this:

<check><input type="Checkbox"/></check>

intside my XML file, in the output I don't see anything.
Please, can you help me?
Thanks a lot.

you can not put a check box in an xml file the most you can do is put statement like you already have in there.
What you ca do is use XSL/XSLT, JavaScript or any other progaminng language to parse xml file and once you do that thats when you create an input element and set its type to checkbox

You can show the checkbox if you use "copy-of" which will select the entire node contents of the <check> tag

It sounds like the person is trying to extract the content of the <check> node and because the <input> is recognized as an XML tag, there is no "content" but another node. So, therefore, using XSLT, using the "copy-of" will extract the XML content within the <check> tag as regular output.


<xsl:template match="check">
<xsl:copy-of select="*|text()"/>
</xsl:template>

oh yeah? and why is it not so obvious that person can see when its check element he needs to read the child element input and then create a checkbox depending upon its attribute that is input?

Either way can be effective, it's just a matter of what's most efficient. I just assumed that he needed to have the actual "HTML" tag within the XML.
