Hi,
I'm using trying to use the function's position() and count()
to help format some HTML output.
The position() function is working well for me however I think
I'm positioning the count() function incorectly.
This what I started with:
<tr><td>url:</td><td>www.footyworld.com</td></tr>
<tr><td>url:</td><td>www.footyworld.com.au</td></tr>
I've used position() to take the next formating step:
<tr><td>url:</td><td>www.footyworld.com</td></tr>
<tr><td></td><td>www.footyworld.com.au</td></tr>
Now I what to use count() to add a plural 's' to my formatting so it's like:
<tr><td>urls:</td><td>www.footyworld.com</td></tr>
<tr><td></td><td>www.footyworld.com.au</td></tr>
This last formating step throws an error.
I'm setting an xsl variable, $addresscount, straight after an
<xsl:for-each> tag and trying to use the value in an <xsl:template> tag.
My thinking is the $addresscount var. is reset each <website> node.
Can you help correct me with this?
Below is a trimmed down version of the xml and xsl files.
As I've trimmed it down in this email I have checked for typo's and
I trust their are none.
I've been trying different positions with these tags without joy so I though
I'd ask.
Many thanks
Cheers
Rudi.
