RE: RE: [xsl] html tables with XSL

[cknell@xxxxxxxxxx]

This is still a muddle to me. Let me try to re-phrase the matter and you tell me if I've got it right or wrong.

You have an XML document with a root element <FormElements>.

The structure of this document is like this:

<FormElements>
  <FormElement version="">
     <value>
        &lt;!-- Sometimes the "value" element will have an "editbox" child
               and at other times it will simply contain a string
         --&gt;
        <editbox password=""></editbox>
     </value>
     <caption></caption>
     <elementid></elementid>
  </FormElement>
</FormElements>

The structure of the output:

1) You wish to create an HTML table with two columns.
2) The first column heading is the string "Name".
3) The second column heading is the string "Keys".
4) You wish to  create a new row for every "FormElement" in the XML document.
5) In the first table cell of the new row (i.e., the first column of the table) you wish to place the value from "caption" element child of the "FormElement".
6) Following that you wish to enter the string ":".
7) Following the string ":", you wish to place the string value of the "value" element child of the "FormElement".

No, I'm lost again. It seems that sometimes the data goes in the first column and other times it goes in the second column. I can't understand what rule determines when it goes in the first column and when it goes in the second column.

Please state, in the numbered format above, exactly the rules you wish to use to produce the table from the XML document. I suspect that if you can think about the problem clearly enough to formulate explicit production rules, you will be able to solve the problem yourself. If you can't formulate explicit production rules, it's unlikely that anyone else can.

Otherwise, please let me know. If could help to
resolve the problem, then it should be very much
appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,
