RE: [xsl] Trouble creating tables while looping through elements

Hi Charles,

It doesn’t seem right to me that you create a tbody for each node.  A table 
typically has 1 <thead> and 1 <tbody> tag.

If you want to create different tables for different nodes based on some 
condition it's best to create different templates using specific predicates.

<xsl:template match="node[condition predicitate 1]">
  <table>
   ...
  </table>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="node[condition predicitate 2]">
  <table>
   ...
  </table>
</xsl:template>

Cheers,
Robby Pelssers

Subject: [xsl] Trouble creating tables while looping through elements

Dear all,

I'm looping through a (sorted) list of nodes, and would like to put them 
in different tables based on a certain condition using xslt.

At the moment, I'm doing the following :

<table>
<xsl:for-each select="node">
<tbody>
         ... some formatting ...
</tbody>
<xsl:if test="not(subnode = following-sibling::node/subnode)">
</table>
<h2>Some Title</h2>
<table>
</xsl-if>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>

However, this XSLT file is invalid (XMLSpy indicates a warning when I 
save it, because of the closing <table> tag underneath the if-test), and 
Firefox refuses to display it for the same reason.

Is there any easy way to have some kind of separation within the 
for-each loop, or should I take this formatting out of the loop ?


Thanks in advance,

Charles-Louis de Maere
