RE: [xsl] N input nodes to specific number of ouput nodes

2008-10-22 12:57:00
I'm trying to get the "1 to 10" to work with for-each.

<xsl:for-each select="1 to 10">

Problem is inside the loop how do I access the input nodes?  It keeps
complaining that I can't use whatever element here,  "the context item
is an atomic value."

I need to loop through some nodes and output exactly 10 output nodes, 
no matter how many input nodes there are.  If too few input nodes the 
ouput will just show "N/A" and if too many input nodes they will just 
be ignored.

I can do the 'too many' with a for-each and a choose based on 
position() but don't get how the 'too few' scenario is handled.

In 2.0 just use "1 to 10", in 1.0 you will have to use a recursive named
template, a brute force approach (its only 10 so it's no big deal), or
iterate over some other nodeset with 10 elements in.
