Thanx Andrew. I found another solution to solve my problem. Another member told
me that position()
was in fact the position after the sort, what is true. My only error was not to
sort correcly :)
now I do the restriction on the type in the for-each:
<xsl:template name="list">
<xsl:param name="type"/>
<table class="table" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1" wid
<xsl:for-each select="links/link[(_at_)type = $type]">
<xsl:sort order="ascending" select="name"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="position() mod 2 = 0">
<tr>
<td class="tablerow1"><a
href="{...
<td
class="tablerow1"><xsl:value...
</tr>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<tr>
<td class="tablerow2"><a
href="{...
<td
class="tablerow2"><xsl:value...
</tr>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</xsl:template>
But I thank you for your idea because it is really very interesting... I didn't
imagine that was
possible to do such builds in a variable.
Now, I ask you : What is at your opinion the difference between the use of a
variable and a call
template ?

I would want to display a datagrid which lines colors
varies regarding the position (one line white, one
line gray, one line white, ...) AFTER an xsl:sort.
The problem is that the "<xsl:if test="position() mod
2 = 0"> won't work after a <xsl:sort> because the
position() function returns the position in the
original xml, not the in sorted nodes.
I can't use a variable because xslt do not allow to
increment it within my xsl:for-each
Do someone know a solution to this ?
A simple way is to do the sort in a variable first, then for-each over
the variable to produce your table rows.
<xsl:variable name="sortedRows-rtf">
<xsl:for-each select="links/link">
sort, xsl:copy etc...
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="sortedRows" select="xxx:node-set($sortedRows-rtf)"/>
Then...
<table>
<xsl:for-each select="$sortedRows">
<xsl:for-each select="link">
....
Get the idea?
Whenver you have some multi-stage processing to do, just split it up
into variables, each one working on the previous one.
