Thanks!
just reading through your input xml I get
the feeling that what you actually mean is
that if there isn't a colspan then the
colspan= 1, is that correct. So I figure
that in that case checking if @colspan is
greater than 1 is redundant, one should just
check if @colspan exists.
However in that case isn't this the same as
what you're looking for:
<xsl:value-of select="sum($root//row
[1]/entry/@colspan) + count($root//row
[1]/entry[not(@colspan)])"/>
Well, colspan="1" would be legal, so I checked the value. But your way of
adding is definitely more elegant.
I really don't know what the random-nodes.r
and c are for, not having much time here but
<xsl:variable name =" random-nodes-r "
select =" document('')//* " />
<xsl:variable name =" random-nodes-c "
select =" document('')//* " />
is redundant, since variables in xslt are
constants you only need declare one of these
and then use that one all the time.
I use this set of nodes just for the sake of looping a certain number of times.
In Jeni Tennison's book "XSLT and XPath On The Edge" it is called "The Piez
Method". You are right, I don't need two variables (just an old habit...).
Thanks,
