Subject: [xsl] creating a table with xslt From: "Kimberly Begley" <kimberly.lewis@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2008 14:02:49 +1000 |
Hi, This is my first post on your forum - I was searching around for how to implement a counter in xslt and this brought me to your user group. I'm looking to do make a very simple table from an xml file that is output from a servlet. There is no text in the table. Imagine a test that has 500 questions and each cell in the table represents a question - they are red/green/grey square jpeg's depeding on if you got the question correct/incorrect or n/a (you didn't answer it) Ideally you'd end up with alot of green squares and a few red squares - then you could click on any square and the page would update with a box at the bottom showing you all the details of that question. I have pasted some simple xslt code below (it doesn't include all the elements or features - it is just for testing purposes) that goes through each element in the xml file and makes a row for it in the table. I'm having problems figuring out how to automatically make multiple rows and columns with data like this - obviously a simple foreach loop won't work. All the data is the same - it is just in a table to structure it for ease of viewing so columns and rows don't actually map to anything - it's all the same. The other problem is that a user may not answer all the questions and can only answer some of them - meaning there is not guarranteed to be 500 elements in the xml file. Maybe a table isn't the best structure to use in this case? Any advice? <xsl:template match="/"> <HTML> <BODY> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="0" WIDTH="80%"> <xsl:for-each select="testresults/test"> <TR> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="result > 0"> <TD> <a href="{plot_path}" target="_blank"> <IMG SRC="red.jpg"/> </a> </TD> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="result = 0"> <TD> <a href="{plot_path}" target="_blank"> <IMG SRC="green.jpg"/> </a> </TD> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <TD> <a href="{plot_path}" target="_blank"> <IMG SRC="grey.jpg"/> </a> </TD> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </TR> </xsl:for-each> </TABLE> </BODY> </HTML> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>
