Hi,
Imagine I have xsl similar to this:
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="number($count) mod 2 = 0">
You don't need to cast $count to a number, it will be done automatically for
you; then again, with XPath 2.0 you need to start being more careful about the
data types, so I suppose it's a good habit to have.
<tr style="background-color: #FFFFFF;">
<td class="fieldInfo">
<xsl:value-of
select="substring(LineItemName,1,45)"/>
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<tr style="background-color: #E7EEFF;">
<td class="fieldInfo">
<xsl:value-of
select="substring(LineItemName,1,45)"/>
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
You can easily see that this would be a nightmare if I had
even just 5 <td>
elements being repeated. Is there a way to save the value from the
beginning of the <td> to the end, including the generate value of
LineItemName?
<tr>
<xsl:attribute name="style">
<xsl:text>background-color: </xsl:text>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$count mod 2 = 0">#FFFFFF</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>#E7EEFF</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
<xsl:text>;</xsl:text>
</xsl:attribute>
<td class="fieldInfo">
<xsl:value-of select="substring(LineItemName,1,45)"/>
</td>
</tr>
