Re: [xsl] too many columns

Thanks Mike,


I tried this latest XSL and I added another section in my XML (A7) like
this:

[...]
<Column>
<Caption>Spare</Caption>
<Colnr>A7</Colnr>
</Column>
</Columns>
<People>
<Person>
<Data>
<A1 color="000000">Note</A1>
<A2 color="000000"/>
<A3 color="000000">Note</A3>
<A4 color="000000"/>
<A5 color="000000">Note</A5>
<A6 fond="C0C0C0" color="D7AC00">2-MICALI,PAT-4053 </A6>
<A7 fond="C0C0C0" color="D7AC00">Exemple </A7>
[...]

Well, the new column header (Spare) is added ok., but the cells are black
with nothing in them. Instead the A7 element's data "Example" appears in a
separate row BEFORE the table.

I think I am missing something...

Thanks again,
Gabi.
