  • 0

I have constructed an XSL file that parses an XML formatted log and generates an HTML page with information from the log. In this same XSL file, I am attempting to use XSL to pull in an external HTML file that contains a table that I want to display. As it stands, I can display the entire page that contains the table, but am unable to isolate the table. How can this be done? Currently, I can pull in the entire page using the following code:

<xsl:copy-of select="document($tablePageUrl)" />

However, I don’t understand how to traverse the HTML body and pull out a copy of the table. An example of how the HTML document is formatted (the document is proper XML, but not proper HTML):

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<table>
    Table Contents
</table>
</body>
</html>

    Sounds like you want to use XPath to select a particular element in the document.

    Try something like:

    <xsl:copy-of select="document($tablePageUrl)/html/body/table" />
