[xsl] Question about HTML tags

2007-10-03 13:48:37
Hi,

I am using XSLT to transfor an XML file to an HTML file. The HTML will
have a table with certain rows having a gray background and the other
rows a white background.

For example, the HTML would look like;

<html>
        <body>
                <table>
                        <tr><td>AAA</td></tr>
                        <tr style='background: gray;'><td>BBB</td></tr>
                        <tr><td>AAA</td></tr>
                        <tr><td>AAA</td></tr>
                        <tr><td>AAA</td></tr>
                        <tr style='background: gray;'><td>BBB</td></tr>
                        <tr style='background: gray;'><td>BBB</td></tr>
                        <tr><td>AAA</td></tr>
                </table>
        </body>
</html>

Meaning, I am trying to use choose-when in my XSLT to render either <tr>
or <tr style='background: gray;'>

My code looks like: 

<xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="sometest">
        <tr>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
        <tr style='background: gray;'>
    </xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

The problem is that XSLT expects the <tr>'s to have an ending tag befor
the when or otherwise tags end. How should I go about implementing this?

Is there any other way to accomplish what I am trying to do?

Thanks,
HC.
