I want to create a table that has a set number of rows in it. The XML has
data in it to be shown in the table - in simple terms one element of the XML
for each row of the table. The XML will only have an element if there is
data, so if I have 3 data elements but I want 5 rows in the table there
will be 2 'missing' rows and I want to output these 2 rows with some set
html in it.
My template looks like this :
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%">
<xsl:for-each select="INITIALVALUES/INITIALVALUE">
<tr>
<td>
<!-- some html .... -->
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
<!-- add 'blank' rows to give constant number of rows in table -->
</table>
not the easiest of tasks...
You probably want to make a recursive 'xsl:call-template' passing a
parameter specifying how many additional rows to create.
might try this...
... inside yer <table>...
<xsl:call-template name="blank-rows">
<xsl:with-param name="count" select="5 -
count(INITIALVALUES/INITIALVALUE)"/>
</xsl:call-template>
<xsl:template name="blank-rows">
<xsl:param name="count"/>
<!-- blank row stuff here -->
<xsl:if test="$count > 0">
<xsl:call-template name="blank-rows">
<xsl:with-param name="count" select="$count - 1"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
xslt is great at transforming data... not quite so convenient (at least 1.0,
not sure about 2.0) when yer not transforming data.. :-)
Thanks
