Re: [xsl] Question on search and replace in XSL

It seems to me that APNameSplit was originally written for arguments
"text" that might contain more than one semicolon - note the recursive
invocation after splitting off the first part. I've removed everything that
does not agree with the new spec of "<one>;<<two>".

 <tr>
 <td valign="top" width="180">Adverse Party:</td>
 <xsl:apply-templates select="APName" />
 </tr>

 <xsl:template name="APNameSplit">
  <xsl:param name="text" select="string('')"/>
   <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="contains($text,$find)">
         <td valign="top" style="font-weight:normal">
           <xsl:value-of select="substring-before($text,';')"/>
         </td>
         <td valign="top" style="font-weight:normal">
           <xsl:value-of  select="substring-after($text,';')"/>
         </td>
     </xsl:when>
     <xsl:otherwise>
      <td colspan="2" valign="top" style="font-weight:normal">
        <xsl:value-of select="$text"/>
      </td>
     </xsl:otherwise>
   </xsl:choose>
 </xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="APName">
   <xsl:call-template name="APNameSplit">
     <xsl:with-param name="text" select="."/>
   </xsl:call-template>
 </xsl:template>

Hi - I have an XSL template that's used to format an email message and I
need to change the formatting.  I did the original formatting, but I haven't
touched it in at least 2 years and I'm way beyond rusty with XSL.  I'm
hoping someone can give me a hand.  Here's the issue:

I currently get data from our database with two fields separated by
semi-colons.  The semi-colons are currently replaced in the template by a
<br/>, so the two fields appear one on top of the other.  What I need to do
is change this so that they appear next to each other in a tabular format.
So now the email looks like this, assuming two records one with two fields
xxx and yyy and the second with two fields zzz and www:

xxx
yyy


zzz
www

What I want is:

xxx       yyy
zzz       www

Here's my current code:

....
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="180">Adverse Party:</td>
<td valign="top" style="font-weight:normal">
              <xsl:apply-templates select="APName" />
</td>
</tr>
....


<xsl:template name="APNameSplit">
  <xsl:param name="text" select="string('')"/>
  <xsl:param name="find" select="string(';')"/>
  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="$find = ''">
      <xsl:value-of select="$text"/>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:when test="contains($text,$find)">
      <xsl:value-of select="substring-before($text,$find)"/>
      <br/>
      <xsl:call-template name="APNameSplit">
        <xsl:with-param name="text" select="substring-after($text,$find)"/>
        <xsl:with-param name="find" select="$find"/>
      </xsl:call-template>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
      <xsl:value-of select="$text"/>
    </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="APName">
  <xsl:call-template name="APNameSplit">
    <xsl:with-param name="text" select="."/>
    <xsl:with-param name="find" select="string(';')"/>
  </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>

Can anyone give me a hand on how to begin?

Thanks!
