Hi All,
(using xsl1.0)
I've been using the procedure described in the following link to organise data
that needs to be collated in a grouped manner.
http://www.biglist.com/lists/lists.mulberrytech.com/xsl-list/archives/200201/msg00316.html
That works pretty well and produces my list in the correct grouped manner.
My problem is now is that the pesky designers want each row coloured. Great!
I'll use position() mod != 1 blah.....
Oh no I won't.
Due to the fact that I now have two levels of grouping the position() gets
completely lost when I'm at the row level. I can get the id of my entry with
generate-id() but I don't know how many non-unique entries I have skipped.
Therefore I can't know how many rows I've had previously.
The same applies for some recursive routine, I just don't know which rows I
have avoided.
I won't ask why I can't reassign a "variable" :-). Although I understand the
reasons behind not being able to reassign one I invariably find it generates
more potentially buggable, harder to read code rather than reduce it.
So any ideas how I can perform a count of what has gone before (using the
original example is fine)? Is this only possible in XSL 2.0?
