Subject: RE: [xsl] data translation => descendants appear side by side in HTML-table From: "Stuart Celarier" <stuart@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 3 May 2002 19:29:09 -0700 |
Here is a stylesheet that does the trick. The idea I've used here is to create a pair of variables to hold copies of the description elements from each base element. Then we can figure out the number of rows in the table, and generate the rows using recursion. As an optimization, the variables containing the description elements are top-level (or global) elements so they don't have to be passed as parameters on each recursive template call. I've used the msxsl:node-set extension element from MSXML 4.0, you will have to replace that with the appropriate extension element for the XSLT processor you are using.
