I have an xslt document that looks like the following:
o /
----X---------- <snip>
O \
<xsl:for-each select="Dictionary/WordDefinition">
<xsl:sort select="Word"/>
<tr bgcolor="#99CCFF"><td><xsl:value-of
select="Word"/></td><td><br/></td></tr>
<xsl:for-each select="Definition">
<tr bgcolor="#99CCAA"><td><br/></td><td><xsl:value-of
select="."/></td></tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>
o /
----X---------- <snip>
O \
(My problem is, I want the word and first definition on the same row.)
The above xsl transforms the xml document into a html document
that has the word on one row, in the first column and the
defintions in the second, third and forth row in the second column.
Again I want to figure out how to make the word and first
definition sit on the same row.
I've heard about indexing the elements but I've never seen any
examples of this.
Try the following in place of the isolated portion above:
<xsl:for-each select="Dictionary/WordDefinition">
<xsl:sort select="Word"/>
<tr bgcolor="#99CCFF">
<td><xsl:value-of select="Word"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="Definition[1]"/></td> <!-- first def -->
</tr>
<xsl:for-each select="Definition[position() > 1]"> <!-- later defs -->
<tr bgcolor="#99CCAA">
<td><br/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="."/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>
