<tr>
<xsl:attribute name="style">
<xsl:text>background-color: </xsl:text>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="number($count) mod 2 = 0">
<xsl:text>#FFFFFF;</xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:text>#E7EEFF;</xsl:text>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:attribute>
<td class="fieldInfo">
<xsl:value-of select="substring(LineItemName,1,45)"/>
</td>
</tr>
Or in XSLT 2.0:
<tr style="background-color: {if (number($count) mod 2 = 0)
then '#FFFFFF;'
else '#E7EEFF;'}/>
<td class="fieldInfo">
<xsl:value-of select="substring(LineItemName,1,45)"/>
</td>
</tr>
No variables needed in either case.

# Subject: [xsl] Elminitate redundancy by using variables

# Imagine I have xsl similar to this:
#
# <xsl:choose>
# <xsl:when test="number($count) mod 2 = 0">
# <tr style="background-color: #FFFFFF;">
# <td class="fieldInfo">
# <xsl:value-of
# select="substring(LineItemName,1,45)"/>
# </td>
# </tr>
# </xsl:when>
# <xsl:otherwise>
# <tr style="background-color: #E7EEFF;">
# <td class="fieldInfo">
# <xsl:value-of
# select="substring(LineItemName,1,45)"/>
# </td>
# </tr>
# </xsl:otherwise>
# </xsl:choose>
#
# You can easily see that this would be a nightmare if I had
# even just 5 <td> elements being repeated. Is there a way to
# save the value from the beginning of the <td> to the end,
# including the generate value of LineItemName?
#
# Thanks.
