RE: How to calculate rowspan?

Hi!


not directly answering your question (as I see someone already gave some
code for that) but...


unfortunatly the given solution didn't work, 'cause the content in the nodes
isn't unique. 


<ROW>
        <COL0 Type="Dimesion">A</COL0>
  <xsl:template match="//ROW[not(descendant::node()[1][(_at_)Type='Label'])]" >

Never start a match pattern with // (it doesn't do anything useful)


in fact... Thanks, I deleted this. But if I will access attributes the //
needed, why?


is the first descendent node which (nature being it is, is the same as)
child::node()[1] which may be abreviated to node()[1]

Unless you have xsl:strip-space in effect (or are using msxml which is
arguably non-conformant in this respect)


I use msxml.


the first child node of ROW is a text node consisting or a newline and some
space characters, you want the first element child, not the first node, so
that would be

match="ROW[not(*[1][(_at_)Type='Label'])]"


This work on msxml too, thanks! :-)
